Abstract
Using a phosphosilicate-doped continuous-wave Raman fiber laser, a 350-m single-mode fiber, and a 50% feedback fiber Bragg grating at 1483.4 nm, we obtained a high-efficiency ultra-broadband (1434–1527 nm) supercontinuum (SC) centered at 1483.4 nm with an average output power of 2.1 W, a spectral intensity of 22.3 mW nm-1, and a nonlinear conversion efficiency of 94%. Increasing the fiber length in the Raman cavity to 1840 m gave simultaneous SC centered at 1483.4 nm and 1239 nm. An average power of 2.3 W in the bandwidth of 1434–1544 nm and 0.2 W in the bandwidth of 1224–1257 nm is obtained. The temperature dependence of the SC was also investigated.
