ABSTRACT
A conventional hollow core fiber (HCF) scheme is implemented to investigate spectral broadening of TitaniumSapphire (Ti-Sa) femtosecond laser pulses in saturated hydrocarbon molecules compared to unsaturated ones. While the saturated molecules exhibit a spectral broadening similar to noble gases, for the unsaturated ones with π bonds, broadening towards blue is restrained. Numerical simulations underpin that it is a combination of group velocity dispersion (GVD) and Raman scattering which limits the spectral broadening for the unsaturated molecules. Compression of low energy â¼40fs pulses to â¼8fs using saturated hydrocarbons is demonstrated, suggesting the feasibility of this media for high repetition rate laser pulse compression.
