Abstract :
We exploit stimulated-Raman-scattering to generate polarisation-vortices over 3-Stokes-shifts (40-THz) with a specially-designed optical fiber. This illustrates the possibility of generating these beams, of immense recent interest, at any wavelength that nonlinear processes in glass allow.
