Abstract :
It has been made clear through model simulations that dispersion-flattened and decreasing fiber (DFDF) is one of the most suitable fibers for broad-band supercontinuum (SC) generation. SC generation In a bandwidth of 280 nm with intensity fluctuation less than 15 dB has been experimentally observed by using the DFDF designed and manufactured with an optimized dispersion profile.
