Résumé
Supercontinuum generation by dual-wavelength nanosecond pumping in the vicinity of both zero-dispersion wavelengths of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is experimentally demonstrated. It is shown in particular that two pumps at 1535 nm and 767 nm simultaneously pumping near the two zero-dispersion wavelengths of a specially designed PCF yields a combined visible and infrared supercontinuum spectrum spanning from 0.55 mu m to 1.9 mu m. We discuss the generation mechanisms underlying the continuum formation in terms of modulation instability and cascaded Raman generation. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
