Compact supercontinuum generation and four-wave mixing in PCF with 10 ns laser pulses

We report broad flat supercontinuum, 500-1750+ nm, using a kHz train of nanosecond Q-switched microchip laser pulses at 1064 nm or 1047 nm. The same systems exhibit strong parametric generation of FWM peaks, e.g. at 732/1945 nm or 895/1315 nm.
