    Abstract

    We experimentally study the combined nonlinear effects, including four-wave mixing, stimulated Raman scattering, soliton dynamics, and cross-phase modulation by coupling femtosecond pulses around 850 nm into the normal dispersion region near the zero-dispersion wavelength in the fundamental mode of a homemade silica photonic crystal fiber. The nonlinear optical dynamics at different stages are demonstrated, and the discrete ultraviolet (UV) to visible wavelengths widely separated from the pump wave are generated by the interaction of several nonlinear effects involved. The UV to visible wavelengths can be used as short pulse sources for multiphoton ionization, fluorescence spectroscopy, and biochemical imaging.
