主　　题：attosecond pulses optical solitons supercontinuum ultrashort pulses 

摘      要：Fiber supercontinua represent light sources of pivotal importance for a wide range of applications,ranging from optical communications to frequency *** spectra encompassing more than three octaves can be produced,the applicability of such spectra is strongly hampered due to coherence degradation during spectral *** pulse parameters at the cutting edge of currently available laser technology,we demonstrate the possibility of strongly coherent supercontinuum *** a fiber with two zero-dispersion wavelengths a higher-order soliton experiences a temporal breakdown,without any compression or splitting behavior,which leads to nearly complete conversion of input solitonic radiation into resonant nonsolitonic radiation in the dispersive wave *** the process is completely deterministic and shows little sensitivity to input noise,the resulting pulses appear to be compressible down to the sub-cycle level and may thus hold a new opportunity for direct generation of attosecond pulses in the visible to near ultraviolet wavelength range.
