Abstract :
The major role in supercontinuum generation by laser pulses play dispersive wave generation and four-wave mixing. We propose to modify the phase-matching conditions for dispersive wave and four-wave mixing by periodical modulation of the diameter of microstructured fiber. Periodical modulation of the fiber diameter leads to variation of propagation constant. As result the phase-matching conditions for dispersive wave radiation and four-wave mixing become modified.
