We present a detailed study on the generation of widely tunable visible light through four wave mixing in specifically designed micro-structured fibers. The fiber's properties are optimized for an efficient conversion to the visible and near infrared with a combined tunability from 620 to 910 nm of a picosecond Yb-doped tunable source for biomedical applications.
