Recent Advances in Optical Fiber-Based Supercontinuum Generation
Hosted By: Fiber Modeling and Fabrication Technical Group
11 April 2022 10:00 - 11:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)In this webinar hosted by the Fiber Modeling and Fabrication Technical Group, Thibaut Sylvestre will review a selection of recent advances in supercontinuum (SC) generation in a range of specialty optical fibers, including fluoride, chalcogenide, telluride, and silicon-core fibers for the MIR, UV-grade silica fibers and gas-filled hollow-core fibers for the UV range; and all-normal dispersion fibers for ultralow-noise coherent SC generation. Sylvestre will summarize the significant developments that have been made in reaching target UV and MIR wavelength ranges, and ultra-low noise coherent SC sources. As the result, the fiber SC has matured considerably to become a truly disruptive technology able to meet a range of societal and industrial challenges.

About the Presenter: Thibaut Sylvestre, FEMTO-ST Institute
Thibaut Sylvestre is a CNRS research director at the FEMTO-ST research institute of the University Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC) in Besançon, France. He leads theoretical and experimental studies on nonlinear optical phenomena in optical fibers with the aim of potential applications to new fiber lasers and sensors. He has been a member of OPTICA since 2001 and of the Société Française d'Optique (SFO), which in 2012 awarded him the Fabry-de-Gramont prize for his scientific achievements in the field of nonlinear fiber optics.
