✦ Synopsis

Microstructure fibers with multiple micron and
submicron fused silica waveguide channels are shown to be ideally
suited for highly efficient anti-Stokes frequency conversion.
These fibers are capable of generating ultrashort pulses of
frequency-tunable radiation with controlled chirp, allowing the
creation of new sources of tunable radiation for applications in
spectroscopy, photochemistry, optical metrology, photobiology, and
biomedicine.
