All-fiber supercontinuum source in the range of 1550-2400 nm based on telecommunication multimode fiber

For the first time to our best knowledge we have realized all‐fiber supercontinuum source based on standard telecommunication multimode fiber. To pump the source Q‐switched Er‐doped fiber laser was used. The observed spectrum covers the spectral range from 1550 to 2400 nm with the power variation le...

Description
Summary:For the first time to our best knowledge we have realized all‐fiber supercontinuum source based on standard telecommunication multimode fiber. To pump the source Q‐switched Er‐doped fiber laser was used. The observed spectrum covers the spectral range from 1550 to 2400 nm with the power variation less than two decades. Average power of 0.85 W and pulse energy of 0.19 mJ was measured. (© 2011 by Astro Ltd., Published exclusively by WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
