摘要
A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based supercontinuum source with hundred-watt-level average power output is presented in this paper. The output delivery fiber of a 120 W picosecond master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) laser with a 15 mu m fiber core is directly spliced with a 2.6-m-long PCF to form the all-fiber-integrated SC source. Using the controlled air-hole collapse technique to expand the core diameter of the PCF, a superlow splice loss ( similar to 0: 2 dB) between the delivery fiber and the PCF has been demonstrated. A 92.5 W SC spanning from about 700 nm to beyond 1700 nm is obtained. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
