Supercontinuum Generation in Standard Telecom Fiber Using Picoseconds Pulses

摘要

We reported Supercontinuum (SC) generation in standard telecom fiber using picosecond pulses of microchip laser. The pulses width is 700 ps at 1064 nm, using 57 m long of standard fiber, and the spectra extend from 700 to above 1700 nm, some 100 nm further into the visible. The physical processes leading to the formation of the continuum spectrum were studied by monitoring the growth of the SC while increasing the input power. The coupling efficiency of ours experimental setup between the microchip laser and the telecom fiber helped us to obtain this wide spectrum.
