✦ Synopsis

An effective supercontinuum (SC) generation is demonstrated by injecting picosecond self Q-switched mode-locked Nd:GdVO~4~ laser pulses into a 1-m long microstructured fiber. The laser is operated at wavelength 100-nm away from the longer zero-dispersion of this dual zero-dispersion wavelength microstructured fiber. The phenomena of modulation instability, stimulated Raman effect, and dispersive wave can be sequentially observed from experimental results, leading to spectral broadening as pumping increases.

Regular and robust Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) pulses are produced in Nd:GdVO~4~ laser by the integration of nonlinear mirror and semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The threshold of QML operation is increased by putting the SESAM in laser cavity with large beam radius. The nonlinear mirro
