Soliton self-frequency shift (SSFS) and third-harmonic generation (THG) are observed in a four-hole As2S5 chalcogenide microstructured optical fiber (MOF). The As2S5 MOF is tapered to offer an ideal environment for SSFS. After tapering, the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) shifts from 2.02 to 1.61 μm, and the rate of SSFS can be enhanced by increasing the energy density of the pulse. By varying the average input power from 220 to 340 mW, SSFS of a soliton central wavelength from 2.206 to 2.600 μm in the mid-infrared is observed in the tapered segment, and THG at 632 nm is observed in the untapered segment.

This study reports the observation of complete orthogonally polarized Raman scattering (OPRS) in a 1.0-km high-birefringence fiber (HBF). An incident pump pulse at 1560 nm with an energy of 2.

By calculating the forces that induce the relative motion between the unequal PQSs, we derive the balanced conditions for maintaining a near-constant separation and the constant phase profile between them. The predictions are validated by the numerical simulations.

The seed source is a passively harmonic mode-locked (HML) fiber laser based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) polymer film. By adjusting the pump power and polarization controller (PC) appropriately, the repetition rate can be tuned up to 1.

We find that the Boson peak will greatly increase the soliton self-frequency shift and contribute even more than the shift induced by the Lorentzian response for certain pulse durations. We also show that the revised Raman shock time is associated with the pulse width even for a relatively long pulse.
