Over the past four years, there has been a surge of activity in the supercontinuum field since
the introduction of various types of microstructure fibers. The main reason for this great …

We review supercontinuum generation in optical fibers for particular cases where the
nonlinear spectral broadening is induced by pump radiation from fiber-format sources …

The fiber laser, with its humble beginning in the late 1980s, has undergone tremendous
development in the past decade or so, transforming itself from a research curiosity to a major …
