Abstract
Supercontinuum (SC) light with a 400-1600 nm spectrum has been generated in optical fibres using unamplified femtosecond Tirsapphire lasers. The fibre can be a special microstructure (photonic crystal) fibre with a core surrounded by large air holes,1 or it can be a standard telecommunications fibre that is tapered—narrowed by heating and stretching.
