Fig. 4. (a) Experimental spectra for the 8.6 mm-long, 1200 nm-wide waveguide (blue dotted line) and the threefold 3 mm-long waveguide (black line) for an input peak power of 3.8 kW; (b) and (c) optical images of the 3 mm-long straight waveguide and the 8.6 mm-long spiral, respectively, from above, showing green and blue scattered light; (d) experimental (black lines) and simulated (green lines) spectra for different input peak powers; from bottom to top: 250 W, 950 W, 3.8 kW. Curves are arbitrarily shifted for better understanding. (e) Spectral evolution along the propagation direction for the simulated SCG 3.8 kW peak power.
