Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The device comprises: - a nonlinear optical fiber (F); - a pump system; - a cavity and an active medium, such as an active fiber (Fm), located inside the cavity, configured and arranged such to make, by means of a pumping provided by the pump system, the active medium generate and emit chaotic pulses of laser light towards the nonlinear optical fiber (F) which excite the nonlinear effects thereof for the generation and emission of supercontinuum light in the form of pulses of light distributed randomly over time. The invention also relates to numerous uses of the device proposed for multiple applications that require a low-cost, very bright light source with an adequate broadband spectrum.
