Super-continuum generation at 1 mm using amplified spontaneous emission noise burst instead of coherent ultra-short pulses is proposed and demonstrated. The noise burst is generated from pumping an ytterbium-doped fibre followed by external modulation. By launching the amplified noise burst into...
