Abstract
There is described a method of tuning an output optical pulse. The method generally has: generating a seed optical pulse, the seed optical pulse having a tunable parameter; propagating the seed optical pulse into and along one of a plurality of optical fibers each having a hollow core extending along a given length, the optical fibers having a parameter being different from one another; pumping a gas inside the hollow core of the one of the optical fibers, said pumping having a tunable parameter; the propagation of the seed optical pulse into and along the one of the optical fibers modifying the seed optical pulse into the output optical pulse; and tuning the output optical pulse by modifying the tunable parameter of the seed optical pulse, modifying the one of the optical fibers along which the seed optical pulse is propagated and modifying the tunable parameter of said pumping.
