Abstract

We demonstrate the blue light generated in high-Δ photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). A femtosecond Yb-doped fiber laser, operating at 1039nm, is used to pump a GeO2-doped PCF in the largely anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD) region. The emitted radiation covers 418.6–544.6nm with 5dB flatness. The calculated result indicates that the cross phase module (XPM) effect induced by higher-mode soliton makes a contribution to the blue component generation.
