Abstract :
The investigation of spectrum broadening of Cr4+:Mg2SiO4 (Cr:forsterite, Cr:F) laser in highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted optical fibers (HNLF) are presented. Besides, the laser spectrum was broadened in a dispersion-decreasing highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted optical fiber (HNLF DDF). The first results on spectrum broadening of Cr:forsterite laser in tapered HNLF with taper waist diameter of 2 mkm and length of 6 cm are presented
