  • Abstract
    We investigated degradation of the spectral linewidth of each frequency component and the SNR in supercontinuum generation process. The spectral linewidth measured by a self-delayed heterodyne method was enlarged along with a separation from the center frequency of the SC, and the SNR was reduced as the pulse peak power was increased.
