Abstract
We report on the development of a core photonic crystal fiber with a substantially reduced water-peak loss around , which allows extended Raman-soliton supercontinuum generation up to with a cw ytterbium fiber laser pump source. The resulting broadband, high-spectral-power-density, low-coherence light source can be employed for advanced, submicrometer resolution optical coherence tomography.
