Recent Advances in Optical Fiber-Based Supercontinuum Generation
Résumé
In this webinar hosted by the Fiber Modeling and Fabrication Technical
Group, Thibaut Sylvestre will review a selection of recent advances in
supercontinuum (SC) generation in a range of specialty optical fibers,
including fluoride, chalcogenide, telluride, and silicon-core fibers for
the MIR, UV-grade silica fibers and gas-filled hollow-core fibers for
the UV range; and all-normal dispersion fibers for ultralow-noise
coherent SC generation. Sylvestre will summarize the significant
developments that have been made in reaching target UV and MIR
wavelength ranges, and ultra-low noise coherent SC sources. As the
result, the fiber SC has matured considerably to become a truly
disruptive technology able to meet a range of societal and industrial
challenges.
