W High Power CW Supercontinuum Source
نویسنده
چکیده
A 29 W CW supercontinuum spanning from 1.06 to 1.67 μm is generated in a short length of PCF with two zero dispersion wavelengths. The continuum has the highest spectral power density, greater than 50 mW/nm up to 1.4 μm, reported to date. The use of a short length of PCF enables the continuum to expand beyond the water loss at 1.4 μm. The dynamics of the continuum evolution are studied experimentally and numerically with close attention given to the effects of the water loss and the second zero dispersion wavelength.

Gain-switched CW fiber laser for improved supercontinuum generation in a PCF.
We demonstrate supercontinuum generation in a PCF pumped by a gain-switched high-power continuous wave (CW) fiber laser. The pulses generated by gain-switching have a peak power of more than 700 W, a duration around 200 ns, and a repetition rate of 200 kHz giving a high average power of almost 30 W. By coupling such a pulse train into a commercial nonlinear photonic crystal fiber, a supercontin...

متن کاملSupercontinuum Generation In Optical Fibres
In this work, a high power Ytterbium pump laser was used in a quasicontinuous wave (CW) pump scheme to generate supercontinua in two different optical fibres, a depressed cladding, graded index highly nonlinear fibre (HNLF), and a solid core photonic crystal fibre (PCF). Pumping a 300 m length of the HNLF with a peak pump power of 140 W, a continuum with a spectral flatness of 5 dB over 1000 nm...
