Abstract :
We numerically recognize a procedure for shaping, at least to some extent, the spectral profile of the supercontinuum (SC) generated by soft-glass photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). As example, we identify a PCF geometry that provides an ultrawide (over an octave) and very flat SC when pumped with pulsed light parameters corresponding to a commercially available Er-doped femtosecond fiber laser.
