Widely and Continuously Tunable Continuum Generation From CW-Pumped Cascaded Fibers

A tunable continuum with multiwatt output power is demonstrated for the first time through the pumping of cascaded fibers by using a continuous-wave (CW) ytterbium fiber laser. The central wavelength of the output continuum can be tuned continuously and monotonically by varying input pump power, wit...
