Abstract

This paper presents several broad-spectrum sources generated by pumping a 532nm laser microchip, with 600ps pulses and various combinations of conventional thin-core optical fibers. Fibers with a core of 2.1μm, 2.5μm and 3.5μm were used; with lengths of 38m, 23.3m and 19.7m respectively. We present the results derived from experimenting with each type of fiber separately, as well as making combinations among them, obtaining broad spectrum light sources (supercontinuous light) with a spectral width of approximately 300nm and powers greater than -20dBm.
