Abstract
A super-continuum system including: a fiber laser configured to output a pulse having a center wavelength; a first nonlinear waveguide configured to shift the wavelength of the pulse from the fiber laser; a first fiber amplifier of at least one stage configured to amplify the output from the first nonlinear waveguide; and a second nonlinear waveguide configured to spectrally broaden the output from the first fiber amplifier.
