We present a compact broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation in a single-mode fluorozirconate ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF (ZBLAN) fiber pumped by femtosecond pulses from an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The femtosecond seed pulses are generated through passive mode locking using carbon-nanotubes-bas...
