Abstract :
Through an improved understanding of the non linear processes involved in CW pumped supercontinuum sources, evidenced by the strong agreement between theoretical prediction and experimental realization, high power cw Yb-fibre lasers have been deployed with photonic crystal fibre in all-fibre configurations enabling short wavelength generation down to 600 nm with spectral power densities in excess of 2 mW/nm, while in the infra red over 100 mW /nm has been demonstrated.
