摘要：

We report on infrared supercontinuum generation extending over more than one octave of bandwidth, from 850 nm to 2.35 mu m, produced in a single spatial mode from a robust, compact, composite chalcogenide glass nanotaper. A picosecond laser at 1.55 mu m pumps a high-index-contrast, all-solid nanotaper that strongly confines the field to a 480 nm diameter core, while a thermally compatible built-in polymer jacket lends the nanotaper mechanical stability.
