Recent developments in high power near-infrared super-continuum generation based on photonic crystal fiber

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/9/094211

Abstract High power supercontinuum generation witnessed rapid developments in the past few years. The mechanism and the latest achievements in high power supercontinuum generation are reviewed both for the continuous wave pump regime and the pulsed pump regime. The challenges in scaling the average power of supercontinuum generation are analyzed. Some of our works on high power supercontinuum generation are summarized, and perspectives for the future development are discussed.
