Abstract:Supercontinuum (SC) generations in two nonlinear fibers are demonstrated using a passively mode-locked Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The EDFL is constructed using a semiconductor saturable absorber to generate 1.3 ps pulses with average power of 4.9 mW and repetition rate of 9.9 MHz at 1564 nm. The picosecond pulses are amplified by an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier to achieve an average output power of ≈13 dBm before it is launched into a 50m long photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and 100 m long highly nonlinear … Show more
