Fiber Supercontinuum Source for Broadband-CARS Microspectroscopy Based on a Dissipative Soliton Laser

Fiber Supercontinuum Source for Broadband-CARS Microspectroscopy Based on a Dissipative Soliton Laser

We propose and demonstrate a supercontinuum fiber laser source for broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microspectroscopy, seeded by a Yb-doped dissipative soliton fiber laser. Smooth continuum Stokes pulses ranging from 1050 to 1312 nm at -20 dB bandwidth are generated in a highl...
