Abstract

Supercontinuum (SC) light with a 400-1600 nm spectrum has been generated in optical fibres using unampliﬁed femtosecond Tirsapphire lasers. The fibre can be a special microstructure (photonic crystal) ﬁbre with a core surrounded by large air holes,¹ or it can be a standard telecommunications fibre that is tapered—narrowed by heating and stretching.
