Abstract
We present an experimental and numerical study of supercontinuum (SC) generation in a photonic-crystal fiber pumped by optical pulses with constant peak power and adjustable duration, in the range from 185 ps to 1.81 ns. It is shown that the largest spectral broadening is determined by the most energetic sub-pulse generated from the input pulse.
