16. We adjusted the angle of BBO crystal to obtain the best spectral broadening owing to IPM and SPM at the fiber output. In this situation the spectrum of the fundamental pulse at the fiber input is modulated, and the center wavelength of the fundamental pulse is not equal to that of the second-harmonic pulse.
