摘要：
A supercontinuum laser based on an erbium/ytterbium power amplifier emits over approximately 0.8-4.2 mu m, while a second version based on a thulium-doped power amplifier covers the 1.9-4.5 mu m region, making these sources important for applications in defense, homeland security, and healthcare.
