description

The advent of microstructured optical fiber (MOF) technology gave a significant boost to research in nonlinear optics. MOFs have the advantage of high nonlinearity and designable dispersion, which makes this type of fiber an excellent platform for efficient generation of nonlinear effects. In the last years, MOFs exhibiting normal dispersion at any guiding wavelength (ANDi fibers) aroused the interest because of the possibility of using them for the generation of coherent and recompressible supercontinuum (SC) light. In this contribution, we present our recent results regarding the generation of the polarization modulation instability (PMI) effect in ANDi MOFs in the quasi-CW pump regime at 1064 nm. The experimental observation of this nonlinear effect is reported, along with the theoretical analysis of it.
