  • Method of generating supercontinuum optical radiation, supercontinuum optical radiation source, and use thereof
    Patent number: 8000574
    Abstract: A method of generating supercontinuum optical radiation, the method comprising: (a) providing an optical waveguide (22), said optical waveguide exhibiting a dispersion characteristic of guided optical radiation, said dispersion characteristic comprising: (i) a first dispersion parameter (?21) at a first wavelength (?1), (ii) a second dispersion parameter (?22) at a second shorter wavelengths (?2), and (iii) a zero-dispersion parameter at a wavelength in between said first and said second shorter wavelengths; said optical waveguide further comprising at least one entrance for receiving optical radiation, and at least one exit for emitting guided optical radiation; (b) applying at least two laser radiation of said first (25) wavelength, (?1) at a first power (P1) and applying laser radiation of said second (26) shorter wavelength (?2) at a second power (P2) into said optical waveguide, said laser radiations at least partially overlapping between said at least one entrance and said at least one exit of said opti

  • Method of Generating Supercontinuum Optical Radiation, Supercontinuum Optical Radiation Source, and Use Thereof
    Publication number: 20080226242
    Abstract: A method of generating supercontinuum optical radiation, the method comprising: (a) providing an optical wave-guide (22), said optical waveguide exhibiting a dispersion characteristic of guided optical radiation, said dis-persion characteristic comprising: (i) a first dispersion parameter (?21) at a first wavelength (?1), (ii) a second dispersion parameter (?22) at a second shorter wavelengths (?2), and (iii)a zero-dispersion parameter at a wavelength in between said first and said second shorter wavelengths; said optical waveguide further comprising at least one entrance for receiving optical radiation, and at least one exit for emitting guided optical radiation; (b) applying at least two laser radiation of said first (25) wavelength, (?1) at a first power (P1) and applying laser radiation of said second (26) shorter wavelength (?2) at a second power (P2) into said optical waveguide, said laser radiations at least partially overlapping between said at least one entrance and said at least one exit of said opt
