Abstract
Needs of science and technology for compact laser sources with specially shaped pulse waveforms or ultra-broad spectrum can be satisfied on the fiber-optic platform. Here we address transformation of ultrashort optical pulses in a variety of optical fibers aiming synthesis of specially shaped pulses and single-pulse flat-top supercontinuum. Results are discussed in the context of possible applications and experimental implementations. Full Text: PDF References J. M. Dudley, G. Genty, and S.
