Abstract

The generation of controlled broadband pulses using output pulsed of a Ti:sapphire laser traveling through a bending insensitive single mode fiber. A pair of prisms is used to control the chirp of the pulses from the fiber. A simple technique to increase the available bandwidth of the pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser is proposed. The pulses are characterized using a nonlinear microscope.
