Abstract
We experimentally study a new regime for supercontinuum (SC) generation in the nanosecond pulsed regime using a microstructured optical fiber with two zero-dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs). Pumping at 1535 nm around the second ZDW yields a nearly flat SC over 1350-1700 nm. The interplay between the effects of modulation instability and stimulated Raman scattering are described through simple phase-matching relations.
