The set-up consists of an Er-doped mode-locked fibre laser, used as seed, and a highly nonlinear fibre with zero dispersion at 1550¿nm. Thus, all the components are easily attainable. With this novel system the requirements in terms of control of dispersion are reduced. In addition, the spectral width is optimized using fibres with positive and negative dispersion. The supercontinuum emission is characterized by means of an optical spectrum analyser and a PbS photodetector, showing an octave-spanning spectral width, with a flat profile from 1100¿nm up to 2100¿nm. Compared to other supercontinuum sources, this new proposal results in a very competitive and attainable system, particularly in the 1500–2100 nm region. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2013-44174-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 2.537 2016 PHYSICS, APPLIED 47 / 147 = 0.32 2016 Q2 T1 OPTICS 29 / 92 = 0.315 2016 Q2 T1 0.941 2016 Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 Instrumentation 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-2523-8598 Jarabo Lallana, Sebastián Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6048-310X Salgado Remacha, Francisco Javier Universidad de Zaragoza 2002 385 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
