Abstract :
We discuss recent experimental results concerning the use of microstructured optical fibres as novel nonlinear media. Continuum generation, short wavelength soliton propagation and optical frequency comb generation have been obtained thanks to a combination of unusual dispersive properties and the small mode area available in holey fibres
