TLDR
In this paper, an extension of continuous-wave-pumped supercontinuum generation beyond 1380 nm was demonstrated in a PCF with 6-fold reduced water-peak absorption around this wavelength.Abstract:
Extension of continuous-wave-pumped supercontinuum generation beyond 1380 nm is demonstrated in a PCF with 6-fold reduced water-peak absorption around this wavelength. Extended bandwidth sources with Yb-fiber CW pumps can be employed for advanced, sub-micron resolution OCT.read more

Pump format influence on noise characteristics and spectral extent of CW continuum generation in new low-water-loss holey fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1.06-1.7 mum, continuous-wave pumped supercontinua, generated in a new low OH-loss PCF exhibit distinct spectral and noise dynamics when pumped with either high or low-intensity-noise 1 um sources.

Continuous-wave, high-power, Raman continuum generation in holey fibers.
TL;DR: The possibility of using low pump power for cw Raman continuum generation is demonstrated by optimization of the pump peak power and by accounting for the loss-related reduction of the effective length of Raman interaction in holey fibers.
