Supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers infiltrated with liquids
In this paper we present the development of a new direction in so-called optofluidics, namely the research of photonic crystal fibers (PCF) infiltrated with liquids. In particular we concentrate on the flagship application of PCF, the process of Supercontinuum Generation (SG), in which injected monochromatic pulse may be dramatically broadened (spectrally), which creates a coherent beam generation of high brightness comparable to that of monochromatic lasers. The supercontinuum is formed when a
