Abstract :
We will discuss in detail the dynamics of ultrahigh power pulse propagation in the modal picture and consequences for nonlinear fibre optics, in particular for SCG. The dependence on fibre design, dispersion, pulse lengths and pulse shapes will be investigated as well as high order mode pumping.
