摘要
In this paper we report on successful supercontinum generation extending from the near to the mid-infrared region in the range 700-2500 nm in a micro-structured fiber made of lead-bismuth-galate glass and pumped in the femtosecond regime with a wavelength of 1540 nm. The flatness of 5 dB is osberved in most of the registered spectrum 1000 - 2500 nm The improved spectral and thermo-physical properties of this custom made lead-bismuth-galate against telurite and commercially available heavy oxide SF-57 glasses are presented.
