TL;DR: A mid-infrared supercontinuum (SC) is generated in ZBLAN fluoride fibers from amplified nanosecond laser diode pulses with a continuous spectrum from approximately 0.8 microm to beyond 4.5 microm.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mid-IR supercontinuum (SC) fiber laser based on a thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) is demonstrated with a continuous spectrum extending from ∼1.9 to 4.5 μm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a high average power, all-fiber integrated, broadband supercontinuum (SC) sources using amplified picosecond/nanosecond laser diode (LD) pulses followed by modulation instability induced pulse breakup is presented and used to demonstrate SC sources from the mid-IR to the visible wavelengths.

TL;DR: Third order cascaded Raman shifting is used to generate light to 1867 nm in sulfide fibers, and the nonlinearity is measured to be ~5.7 times 10-12 (m/W), which limits the wavelength shift range.

TL;DR: In this paper, a supercontinuum (SC) with a continuous spectrum from 0.8-3 mum is generated in a standard single-mode fiber followed by high-nonlinearity fiber.
