AB A supercontinuum light source is a wideband sourceobtained as the result of the broadening of a spectrally narrowpump source in a nonlinear medium. The high spectralbrightness, large spectral width, tailored wavelength band ofemission, and coherence make supercontinuun sources (SC)very attractive for photonics applications. The SCs generatedwith continuous wave (CW) pumps have the additional propertythat they present much higher spectral power density than theones generated with pulsed pumps. We present three differentsupercontinuun sources tailored with conventionaltelecommunications fibers in order to obtain high poweremission in the 1300 and 1550 nm spectral regions. We showthat the spectral width, spectral shape and brightness of thesupercontinua can be designed by a precise selection of thedispersion proprieties of the fibers used. This properties convertthis type of sources in a very interesting candidate to be used infiber sensing and photonic applications, for instance to avoid theneed of amplification in the interrogation of remote Bragggratings or to improve the resolution and dynamic range ofoptical coherence tomography setups.
