Multioctave supercontinuum from visible to mid-infrared and bend effects on ultrafast nonlinear dynamics in
Abstract:
Broadband supercontinuum generation is numerically investigated in a Xe-filled nested hollow-core antiresonant (HC-AR) fiber pumped at 3 μm with pulses of 100 fs duration and 15 μJ energy. For a 25 cm long fiber, under 7 bar pressure, the supercontinuum spectrum spans multiple octaves from 400 nm to 5000 nm. Furthermore, the influence of bending on ultrafast nonlinear pulse propagation dynamics is investigated for two types of HC-AR fibers (nested and non-nested capillaries). Our results predict similar nonlinear dynamics for both fiber types and a significant reduction of the spectral broadening under tight bending conditions.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
