摘要
We observe phase-matched third-harmonic generation at 355 nm in a low-order mode of a sub-micron diameter glass fiber. The third-harmonic signal exhibits a sharp resonance for a fiber diameter d = 0.49 +/- 0.02 mu m, in excellent agreement with the value d = 0.506 mu m predicted by theory. The third-harmonic conversion efficiency is 2 x 10(-6), and is limited by the pump power (I kW) and effective fiber length (100 mu m). (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
