On-chip visible-to-infrared supercontinuum generation with more than 495 THz spectral bandwidth

Opt Express. 2015 Jul 27;23(15):19596-604. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.019596.

Abstract

We report ultra-broadband supercontinuum generation in high-confinement Si3N4 integrated optical waveguides. The spectrum extends through the visible (from 470 nm) to the infrared spectral range (2130 nm) comprising a spectral bandwidth wider than 495 THz, which is the widest supercontinuum spectrum generated on a chip.
