“…The combined intensity and spectral range of supercontinuum radiation is superior compared to other light sources, and this is the reason for its versatile use. In recent years, SC has been extended into the mid IR, making it even more useful for spectroscopy, as fundamental absorption bands can be targeted directly 7,8 .…”

We report use of a dispersed supercontinuum generated in an all-normal-dispersion fibre to record low-noise spectra from atmospheric molecules at least an order of magnitude faster than has been previously reported. Supercontinuum generation in standard, anomalous dispersion photonic-crystal fibres is inherently connected with large pulse-to-pulse fluctuations resulting in detrimental consequences for high resolution spectroscopy if temporal averaging is not permitted. Replacing the standard PCF with a specially designed all-normal dispersion PCF we find that a substantially superior noise performance is achieved and present its use for high repetition rate absorption spectroscopy where spectra covering 100s of nm in spectral bandwidth can be captured of gases at 100s of kHz repetition rates.

“…Measurement of dispersion at and especially above 2 µm is a challenging task because of the lack of available commercial broadband light sources in this wavelength region, required for measurement. At the moment, there is a growing interest in dispersion measurements in mid-IR range that is illustrated by recent publications and conference reports, in particular, the first measurements of ZBLAN fibers have been reported in [1], [2].…”

Abstract-We report the first ultra-broad band dispersion measurements in short-length ZBLAN, germanate and silicabased optical fibers in the near-and mid-IR wavelength ranges between 1.7 and 2.0 µm and from 2.3 to 2.45 µm, using two ultrabroadband light sources: a broadband superluminescent Tmdoped fiber source and a novel femtosecond pulsed mode-locked Cr:ZnS oscillator. The measured second order dispersion characteristics of the fibers correspond to the theoretical predictions (numerical calculations).
