Title: High efficiency supercontinuum generation using ultra-long Raman fiber cavities. Author: El-Taher AE, Ania-Castañón JD, Karalekas V, Harper P. Journal: Opt Express; 2009 Sep 28; 17(20):17909-15. PubMed ID: 19907579. Abstract: Supercontinuum generation in a multi-fiber ultra-long Raman fiber laser cavity is experimentally investigated for the first time. We demonstrate significantly enhanced spectral flatness and supercontinuum generation efficiency using only conventional single mode silica fiber. With a pump power of only 1.63W a approximately 15 dB bandwidth >260 nm wide (from 1440 to >1700 nm) supercontinuum source is reported with a flatness of <1 dB over 180 nm using an optimised hybrid TW/HNLF cavity. We address the dependence of the supercontinuum spectrum on the input pump power and ultra-long Raman cavity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
