Abstract

A $1.05\mathrm{\mu m}$ picosecond pulsed fiber master oscillator power amplifier system delivering an average power of over $100\mathrm{W}$ was used to pump a $5\mathrm{m}$ long commercially available photonic crystal fiber and a $49.8\mathrm{W}$ supercontinuum spanning from around $500\mathrm{nm}$ to above $1700\mathrm{nm}$ was generated. Strictly single mode operation of the all-fiber supercontinuum source across the whole spectral range was verified through the quantitative measurement of the beam quality.
