Comment on "microstructured polymer fiber laser".

We comment on the recent Letter by Argyros et al. [Opt. Lett. 29, 1882 (2004)] in which a microstructured polymer fiber doped with the dye Rhodamine 6G was discussed as a possible fiber laser source. We suggest that the lasing action at 632 nm was due to stimulated Raman scattering in the poly(methyl methacrylate) host material.

Observation of optical precursors in water.

We observe the formation of optical precursors while propagating 540 fs pulses through 700 mm of deionized water. The launched pulses were strongly chirped to give them a bandwidth of approximately 60 nm to more readily excite the precursors. The precursors attenuated nonexponentially with distance.
