Abstract
We review supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber over the full range of experimentally-reported parameters from the CW to the femtosecond regime. We provide an overview of the underlying spectral broadening mechanisms and associated field and stability properties, and discuss the optimization of supercontinuum sources tailored to particular application needs.
