Abstract

Here we demonstrate a supercontiuum spectrum generated in a tapered fiber pumped by a Ti sapphire laser with 130fs pulse width at 800nm centre wavelength. The tapered fiber with the diameter of 1.25μm and the length of 16cm was made by using a tapered machine. The supercontiuum range is from 500nm to 900nm. We simulated the supercontinuum with the nonlinear Schrodinger Equation and discussed the affecting factors. In some conditions, the experimental results are agreed very well with the theoretical analyses.
