Abstract
We selected two thermally matched silicate glasses with fair refractive index contrast and developed an asterisk-shaped all-solid microstructured optical fiber. The fiber presents a low, ultra-flat, and all-normal dispersion in a wide wavelength range, allowing for the generation of an octave-spanning coherent supercontinuum (SC) in a 20 dB dynamic range with 0.5 ps pump pulses at 1.55 μm. This result improves pump pulse duration that is only , related to the broadband and highly coherent SC generation in fibers with all-normal dispersion. This enables broadband SC sources with all-fiber, high-power, and highly coherent properties.
