Abstract
We have demonstrated nonlinear propagation in a 3-cell hollow core photonic
crystal fiber. The reduced core size increases the nonlinear coefficient of
the guided mode. However, the reduction in the expected soliton energy is
small (a factor of approximately 2) as the dispersion of this fiber is also
increased by the smaller core. We also demonstrate soliton compression using
a 35 m 7-cell tapered fiber, compressing picosecond input pulses by over an
order of magnitude.
