Multiphoton ionization of standard optical fibers
Fig. 1. (a) Time evolution of the output beam power from a 30 cm long GRIN fiber span, for different values of the input peak power. The legend shows the values of input pulse energy and peak power, respectively. (b) Slow temporal evolution of the output spectrum, for fixed input pulse peak power
Fig. 2. (a) Wavelength dependence of the linear loss profile in simulations. (b) Numerical simulation of output spectrum changes versus input pulse energy. All parameters are the same as in experiments of Fig.
Fig. 3. Comparison between MPI regime established at 1.03 μm and 1.55 μm of wavelength: (a) transmission; (b), (c) luminescence; (d), (e) damages imaged by optical microscopy. The white bars in (b)–(e) correspond to 100 μm. The input energy and the peak power are
Fig. 4. X-ray imaging. (a) Radiography of a brand-new GRIN 50/125 fiber. (b) Corresponding intensity profile along the transverse direction
Fig. 5. Analysis of fiber damages. (a) Optical microscope image. (b) Comparison between the intensity profile along the fiber axis in (a) (black curve) with the diameter of the red zone (red area). (c) Variation along
