Abstract
We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the properties of supercontinuum generation in the near-infrared and visible regimes using high-power picosecond pulses propagating in a photonic crystal optical fiber. We discuss the effect of the pump wavelength relative to the fiber zero-dispersion wavelength on the conversion efficiency of pump power to shorter wavelengths. Finally, we consider picosecond supercontinuum generation in the presence of a mode cutoff when the pump is launched into a higher order fiber mode.
