  • Abstract
    Demonstrated is the operation of a passively modelocked erbium-doped fibre laser in noise-like mode and the generation of the pulse train with a bandwidth much wider than the gain bandwidth. Also demonstrated is super-continuum (SC) generation by launching the noise-like pulse into a highly nonlinear fibre and it is shown that the ultra-broadband SC spectra of over 960 nm is obtained by using the noise-like pulse instead of ultrashort pulses.
