Abstract
This paper describes a supercontinuum (SC) generation in 1.0µm band using photonic crystal fibers. To generate the SC, we have utilized two photonic crystal fibers with length of 1km and 300m, and an optical band pass filter inserted between them. We have obtained a 10GHz, 1.0µ m band WDM pulse source with a large spectral bandwidth of 4.22THz. The SC can be applied to WDM pulse source for 1.0µm band large-capacity transmission and the obtained SC has the potential to realize terabit/s WDM signal pulse generation.
