  • Tunable optical supercontinuum enhancement
    Patent number: 8718411
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing optical supercontinuum. The method comprises creating a spectrally narrow phase feature within a supercontinuum spectrum produced from a laser pulse that has been subjected to supercontinuum generation, thereby producing a modified supercontinuum spectrum, and propagating the modified supercontinuum spectrum through an optical waveguide that is suitable for supercontinuum generation, thereby further modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum. The method may include modifying the modified supercontinuum spectrum by increasing its energy in a vicinity of the phase feature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2014
    Assignee: The University of Sydney
    Inventors: Dane Austin, Benjamin John Eggleton, Carel Martijn De Sterke, Paul Steinvurzel, Jeremy Bolger, Thomas Brown, Feng Luan, Dong-Il Yeom
