Supercontinuum Generation in an Ytterbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier With Cascaded Double-Clad Passive Fiber Tapers

Supercontinuum (SC) generation directly from an Ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA) has many advantages such as high output power, low splicing loss, and high optical to optical conversion efficiency. However, the output spectrum can only extend to longer wavelength. We report a method to further...
