Supercontinuum generation from dispersion-flattened photonic cry...

We present the all-fiber system for supercontiuum (SC) generation with picosecond pulses. By launching 1.6-ps pulses from pulsed erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) into a section of photonic crystal fiber (PCF), the spectral broadening is observed. The bandwidth of 237 nm (at 20 dB level) is achieved.
