Abstract
A fiber-based supercontinuum system including: a pump laser; a ZBLAN or other fluoride-based microstructured glass fiber; and control electronics; wherein the control electronics control the pump laser to generate laser pulses into the ZBLAN or other fluoride-based microstructured glass fiber. The fabrication of a ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber with sub-micron features and large air-filling fraction and the use of the fiber to generate a stable supercontinuum (200 to 2500 nm) from 140 fs, 1 nJ pulses at 1042 nm are disclosed.
