Abstract
We present amplitude noise characterization of a low-cost continuum source tunable from 800 to 1250 nm, with the pulse duration of 30 fs, and average output power up to 140 mW at 80 MHz pulse repetition rate. The system is based on a SESAM-modelocked, solid-state Yb tungstate laser plus spectral broadening via a microstructured fiber followed by pulse compression with a simple prism compressor. The measured RMS amplitude noise of 1.2 to 2.5% in the whole tunable range is comparable to the modelocked oscillators. Additionally, we show an excellent agreement between simulated and the experimentally measured spectra.
