Abstract

A nonlinear optical generator which includes an optical fiber is described. The optical fiber has perturbations in the effective index of a mode guided by the same. These perturbations are simply provided as a multitude of transitions between the indices of refraction of the fiber, spaced along the path of radiation within the same.
