摘要
The noise of continuous-wave-pumped broadband continua generated in a holey fiber is characterized in two different all-fiber configurations. An amplified spontaneous emission seeded ytterbium-doped fiber source and fiber Bragg grating based Yb laser were employed to initiate Raman-soliton continuum generation in 100 m of anomalously dispersive holey fiber with spectral width of 300 nm and spectral power density over 10 mW/nm. Low noise operation makes these sources suitable for optical coherence tomography applications. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
