  • Abstract
    A report is presented on the efficient generation of 18 mW of 428 nm light by propagating frequency doubled 780 nm pulses from an all-fibre integrated picosecond pulse source with kW level peak power through a length of highly nonlinear holey fibre. The wavelength conversion process is attributed to resonant coupling between solitons and dispersive radiation.
