摘要
Flat supercontinuum generation has been demonstrated in high nonlinear fibers with zero dispersion wavelengths at 1480 and 1500 nm, which were pumped by a MOPA structured Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifier based on a modulated nanosecond seed laser with the wavelength of 1552 nm. The spectra and output powers affected by the zero dispersion wavelengths, fiber lengths and pump pulse widths were investigated experimentally. A flat spectrum with 5 dB bandwidth from 1220 nm to beyond 1700 nm (assuming the pump peak was filtered) in the optical spectrum analyzer detectable range was finally obtained by optimizing the fiber length and pump pulse width. The maximum output power was 1.02 W, including the peaks near 1550 nm.
