摘要
We report on the experimental observations of on-axis spectral broadening arising from self-focusing of the axicon-generated femtosecond Bessel beam in water. The observed spectral broadening is interpreted by a nonlinearly phase-matched four-wave mixing process involving the intense conical pump, the axial signal and a conical idler wave.
