摘要：

Experimental evidence is presented that standard optical fibres can be used to efficiently convert nanosecond pulses at 1.59 mu m to a supercontinuum in the range 1.6-2.4 mu m. The highest efficiency of conversion to wavelengths above 2 mu m, 38%, has been offered by a multimode graded-index fibre. The spectral density of average power in the range 2-2.35 mu m in this fibre is about 1 mW nm(-1) and that of peak power is about 10 W nm(-1). In all the fibres studied, the practical long-wavelength limit of generation is 2.35 mu m.
