Performance comparison of supercontinuum generation using various tapered fiber waist diameters with a mode-locked fiber laser

Different waist diameters of tapered fibers were proposed and demonstrated as a nonlinear me-dium to compare the performance in generating supercontinuum (SC) output with a mode-locked fiber laser (MLFL) as the laser source. The MLFL source was developed using the nonlinear po-larization (NPR) techn...
