Abstract :
We demonstrate highly precise pulse synthesis technique using an optical pulse synthesizer for spectrally flat supercontinuum generation. The technique achieved further 4-dB suppression of background noise of synthesized pulse and 3-dB suppression of supercontinuum spectrum peak at pump pulse wavelength.
