Spectral broadening of light from a femtosecond laser in a microstructure fiber — •Nils Haverkamp1, Jörn Stenger1, Harald Telle1, and Robert S. Windeler21Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, 38116 Braunschweig — 2Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA

The spectrum emitted by a Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser can efficiently be broadened in a microstructure fiber by self-phase modulation and incoherent scattering processes. We measured spectra as function of fiber length, power and chirp of the 10 fs pulses from our Ti:sapphire laser. Whereas the spectrum is symmetrically broadened in short pieces of fiber, as expected from pure self-phase modulation without self-steepening, asymmetric spectra arise in long fibers. Additionally we measured the pulse-to-pulse phase coherence via fringe visibility in a Michelson interferometer. We discuss the broadening mechanisms in the microstructure fiber as well as the coherence properties.
