Abstract

In this paper, we report on a supercontinuum generation by amplifying noise-like pulses (NLPs) in a nonlinear Yb-doped fiber amplifier. The NLP source is a homemade Yb-doped all-fiber ring oscillator based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locking method. NLPs possess a repetition rate of 11.57 MHz, energy of 16.5 nJ, and 3 dB spectral bandwidth of 42 nm. The intensity autocorrelation function of NLPs has a broad pedestal and a narrow central spike. The pedestal and the spike have temporal widths of 63 ps and 92 fs, respectively. The NLPs are amplified by a Yb-doped fiber nonlinear power amplifier to achieve output power of 7.5 W. Nonlinear effects in the amplifier drastically broaden the spectrum of NLPs and generate high-power supercontinuum light with 10 dB spectral bandwidth of 1130 nm (from 1037 to 2167 nm). The presented supercontinuum generation system is an all-fiber compact structure and has the advantage of not requiring long single-mode, nonlinear, or photonic crystal fibers.
