Fundamental Noise Limitations to Supercontinuum Generation in Microstructure Fiber

Fundamental Noise Limitations to Supercontinuum Generation in Microstructure Fiber

Broadband noise on supercontinuum spectra generated in microstructure fiber is shown to lead to amplitude fluctuations as large as 50% for certain input laser pulse parameters. We study this noise using both experimental measurements and numerical simulations with a generalized stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, finding good quantitative agreement over a …
