Cascaded PCF tapers for flat broadband supercontinuum generation
We report the fabrication of cascaded photonic crystal fiber (PCF) tapers in monolithic design. Flat broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation in cascaded PCF tapers pumped by sub-nanosecond pulses from a 1 064-nm microchip laser is demonstrated. The spectral width (20 dB) extends from 0.47 to 1.67 \mu m. In the optimal configuration, an ultraflat (3 dB) spectrum from 500 to 1 000 nm is achieved.
