摘要
An ultrabroadband supercontinuum （SC） is demonstrated in a pure silica photonic crystal fiber （PCF） pumped by quasi-continuous wave nanosecond-long pulses at 1,064 nm. The generated SC spectra extend- ing from 450 to at least 2,400 nm have the salient feature of a short wavelength regime below the pump wavelength, which is much higher in intensity than the long-wavelength over the pump wavelength. The influence of pump power and repetition rates on SC generation （SCG） is explored. Results suggest that this pump source has both the advantages of short-pulse and continuous-wave pumps for SCG.
