“…SC generation in the MIR regime has been extensively investigated in the past 15 years with more than 400 scientific papers published on this topic. It is still a very active field of research, driven by a wide range of potential applications including molecular spectroscopy, OCT, material processing, and optical sensing [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…There is particular need for broadband sources of UV light for fluorescence imaging and for diagnostic and therapeutic uses in medicine [8], and the MIR covers the molecular fingerprint region and the atmospheric windows of 3-5 µm and 8-12 µm [9,10]. Covering this MIR range is necessary for OCT imaging, remote sensing, air pollution monitoring, homeland security, and minimally invasive medical surgery [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

The physics and applications of fiber-based supercontinuum (SC) sources have been a subject of intense interest over the last decade, with significant impact on both basic science and industry. New uses for SC sources are also constantly emerging due to their unique properties that combine high brightness, multi-octave frequency bandwidth, fiber delivery and single-mode output. The last few years have seen significant research efforts focused on extending the wavelength coverage of SC sources towards the 2 to 20 µm molecular fingerprint mid-infrared (MIR) region and in the ultraviolet (UV) down to 100 nm, while also improving stability, noise and coherence, output power and polarization properties. Here we review a selection of recent advances in SC generation in a range of specialty optical fibers including: fluoride, chalcogenide, telluride, and silicon-core fibers for the MIR; UV-grade silica fibers and gas-filled hollow-core fibers for the UV range; and all-normal dispersion fibers for ultra-low noise coherent SC generation.
