Abstract
We have discovered a new mechanism for passive switching of fiber lasers. 10-kW peak power pulses with pulse widths are reported from a diode-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber laser. The laser generates a high-brightness Raman-dominated supercontinuum spectrum covering the complete window of transparency of silica fiber in the infrared from 1.06 to
