Abstract

Summary form only given. In this paper, we demonstrate the experimental evolution of ultra-broad spectra generated by photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) of different lengths, and theoretically analyze the nonlinear process based on our derived nonlinear propagation equation beyond the slowly-varying-envelope approximation (SVEA). The calculated results of the complicated frequency-dependent phase are significantly useful for extremely flexible and accurate active-chirp compensation by a 4-f pulse shaper with a spatial phase modulator for monocycle-pulse generation.
