A compact and stable system for the generation of a super-continuum (SC) at the 1550 nm region is proposed and demonstrated. Mode-locked pulses at a pulse-width of 200 fs and a peak power of 2.2 kW are generated using the nonlinear polarization rotation technique in a short length of Bi-EDF of about...
