Supercontinuum sources
A supercontinuum source is a device that generates an extremely broad spectrum of light. We have built a packaged pulsed supercontinuum source. The source is used in our lab for characterization of optical filters. The source can be used for a wide range of application.
We use standard telecom fibers for supercontinuum generation. It allows for cost-effective and readily available components, which can be used to construct high-power, high-efficiency supercontinuum sources.
The unique properties of the supercontinuum source, including its broad spectral range, high brightness, and coherence, make it a valuable tool in many areas of science and technology. A nanosecond supercontinuum source is a type of supercontinuum source that generates a broad spectrum of light with nanosecond pulse duration. This is achieved by using high-energy nanosecond pulses from a laser to excite a nonlinear medium, which then generates a highly nonlinear response and produces a broad spectrum of light. high-brightness white-light spectrum covering the complete window of transparency of silica fiber in the infrared.
