Abstract
Low amplitude noise and timing jitter are important for application of supercontinuum sources in radio-over-fiber systems and
photonic signal processing of microwave signals. We experimentally demonstrate that supercontinuum generated in the
short highly nonlinear normal dispersion photonic crystal fiber (PCF) exhibits lower amplitude noise and timing jitter than that
generated in the anomalous dispersion single mode fiber. The supercontinuum generated in the highly nonlinear photonic
crystal fiber at normal dispersion could be a good solution for applications in microwave photonics.
