Continuous-wave pumping supercontinuum generation in random distributed feedback laser cavity

In this paper, we demonstrated a continuous-wave pumping supercontinuum generation in a random distributed feedback fiber laser with a completely open laser cavity. A broadband wavelength conversion was obtained by pumping a 36-km long TrueWaveREACH fiber in anomalous dispersion regime with a high p...
