Soliton self-frequency shift in a highly nonlinear photonic-crystal fiber is shown to enable an efficient wavelength conversion of 100-fs 70-MHz output of a solid-state ytterbium laser, allowing the generation of sub-100-fs laser pulses with a central wavelength tunable from 1060 to 1400 nm. In the
