Abstract

In this work, the spatial self-action of light in the guided-wave regime is studied in the context of spectral transformation of high-peak-power laser pulses in large-mode-area (LMA) photonic-crystal fibers (PCFs). Fibers of this class have been recently shown to offer unique solutions for the transmission, spectral broadening, and soliton transformation of megawatt laser pulses.
