Non-linear photonic crystal fibers guide light in a small silica core, surrounded by a high air filling ratio microstructured. The optical properties of the core closely resemble those of a rod of glass suspended in air, resulting in strong confinement of the light and, correspondingly, a large nonlinear coefficient. By selecting the appropriate core diameter, the zero dispersion wavelength can be chosen over a wide range in the visible and near infrared spectrum, making these fibers particularly suited to supercontinuum generation with Ti: Sapphire or diodepumped Nd3+-laser sources. The fiber is able to be spliced to standard single mode fiber or endlessly single mode fiber.
