Abstract
The development of simple, fibre integrated femtosecond soliton sources based on the propagation of CW noise through a highly nonlinear fibre is reported. It is shown that pulse compression can be obtained in this format through the use of Raman amplification. A method of wavelength extension to the visible using microstructure is proposed
