%0 Journal Article %T Broadband Continuum Generation in Single-Mode Optical Fiber %A B. D. Mara£ża %A J. F. Gabayno %A W. O. Garcia %J - %D 2004 %X We report broadband continuum generation in a single-mode step-index optical fiber pumped by the second harmonic (532 nm) of a Nd:YAG laser. The continuum started to appear together with the first-order Stokes at 545 nm with an input power of 11 mW. The appearance of the second-order Stokes is distinctly observed at 557.5 nm for 96 mW input power. The generated continuum spans 123.12 THz (550¨C712 nm). Asymmetric cross-phase modulation-induced spectral sidebands were also observed %U http://journals.upd.edu.ph/index.php/sciencediliman/article/view/110
