We experimentally demonstrate supercontinuum generation in a tellurite all-solid hybrid microstructured fiber. The fiber, which has a solid core surrounded by six solid rods, possesses a flattened normal chromatic dispersion of −15 ± 5 ps km nm−1 from 2 to 4 μm. Pumped with a femtosecond laser at 2 μm, a highly coherent SC spanning from 1.2 to 3.3 μm at −20 dB level is generated in a 5 cm long fiber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
