Abstract :
Supercontinuum (SC) generation is demonstrated in a photonic crystal fibre (PCF) at 1550 nm with pulse widths of 0.3 to 2.5 ps. Subsequent band-pass filtering of the generated SC spectrum enables the realisation of an optical clock frequency translator continuously tunable up to the L-band.
