Abstract :
Super-continuum light (1050-1700nm at the 75-dB level) was generated from femtosecond pulse of a mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser system. The system included the oscillator, Er-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the spectral broadening system. A new type of fiber with an amplification of 10dB/km was applied in EDFA. The output pulse energy after amplification was 2.85 nJ with average power of 350 mW. This source with octave-spanning spectrum should find widespread applications in frequency metrology and spectroscopy.
