Ultrabroadband Dispersive Radiation by Spatiotemporal Oscillation of Multimode Waves
Logan G. Wright, Stefan Wabnitz, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, and Frank W. Wise
Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 223902 (2015) – Published 25 November 2015

Light pulses in an optical fiber with a large core can undergo dramatic oscillations in their intensity. These oscillations cause a near-infrared pulse to spray off new pulses at wavelengths that range from the mid-infrared to the ultraviolet.
