Ultra-Broadly Tunable Light Sources Based on the Nonlinear Effects in Photonic Crystal Fibers

This thesis examines laser generation from the ultraviolet to the short edge of the mid-infrared band by exploiting the nonlinear effects in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). Several different physical mechanisms are investigated by using homemade PCFs with elaborately customized dispersion profiles....
