ABSTRACT:
High peak pulse light is incident on an optical fiber having a dispersion decreasing region which serves as a main region for generating supercontinuum or idler light and in which the chromatic dispersion does not increase but at least partially decreases in the direction in which light travels. The fiber can be applied to broad band width idler light generation with both light transmission directions. Four wave mixing upon incidence of the light on the dispersion decreasing region of the optical fiber are efficiently obtained.
