Supercontinuum Generation Device, CARS Optimized, 800 nm, fs Pulses

The SCG-800-CARS is a CARS (Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering) optimized supercontinuum generation fiber device for use with 800 nm femtosecond lasers. It contains 12 cm highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with zero dispersion points at ~775 and ~945 nm. The two closely spaced zero-dispersion wavelengths enable stable, low-noise super continuum generation and allows for control of the spectral shape by tuning the pump wavelength. The fiber ends are sealed and mounted in quartz ferrules. The nonlinear supercontinuum fiber is mounted in a robust, 25mm diameter, 120 mm long aluminum housing, which can be easily mounted onto a translation stage. This white light generation device features built-in beam expansion at the end facets, facilitating easy coupling of the laser input beam and a higher damage threshold.
