摘要：
We report on the experimental demonstration of a supercontinuum generation in a highly birefringent nonlinear microstructured optical fiber by use of a sub-nanosecond passively Q-switched Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser. The powerful, low-cost sub-nanosecond pulses produced by the fiber laser source permit one to generate a flat supercontinuum between 1064 and 1600 nm and a more structured spectral broadening down to 400 nm is also initiated.
