TLDR
In this paper, a family of high-power supercontinuum sources that extend throughout the complete window of transparency of silica based fibres is presented, giving flat spectral power densities in excess of 10's mW per nm from 400 nm to beyond 2.2 μm.Abstract:
Advances in high power fibre lasers and amplifiers and in novel non-linear fibres that can be readily integrated with such pumps have led to a family of high power super-continuum sources that extend throughout the complete window of transparency of silica based fibres. The systems have been operated femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond as well as cw. Average powers of 10’s Watts can be easily achieved, giving flat spectral power densities in excess of 10’s mW per nm from 400 nm to beyond 2.2 μm.read more

Wavelength extension in speciality fibres
TL;DR: In this article, three types of speciality fibres are used: low concentration bismuth doped fiber which provides gain in the 1.0-1.4 μm region; photonic crystal fibres; and very high (75%) concentration germanium fibres to generate a laser source at 2.1 μm based upon stimulated Raman scattering.
