• We report the generation of broadband spectroscopy using highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber (HNL-DSF) in an all-fiber system without any free-space optics instruments. • The seed pulse used in this paper is a traditional soliton mode-locked pulse with low energy, which also produces an ultra-Broadband light source of more than 500 nm compared with other seed pulses with higher energy, which is a method for efficiently generating a broadband light source. • High efficiency of output power amplification after two stages of seed pulse amplification (from 2 mW to 600 mW). A compact and robust broadband light source is desirable for frequency combs, and broadband infrared microscopy. To address these demanding problems, we report the generation of broadband spectroscopy using highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber (HNL-DSF) in an all-fiber system without any free-space optics instruments. However, due to the damage to the glass material by a large number of photons at high power, the ability of the fiber to widen will weaken over time. Therefore, the seed pulse used in this paper is the traditional soliton mode-locked pulse, which has lower energy than other types of mode-locked pulse. After two-stage amplification, the peak power, pulse width, and pulse energy of the soliton pulse are about 2 kW, 10 ps, and 18.79 nJ respectively. Amplifying the power of a low-energy pulse to pump the dispersion-shifted fiber, the ultra-wideband spectrum of more than 500 nm can be obtained without damaging the fiber, which is an efficient method to generate a wide spectrum. This method can be potentially used in astronomy, industry, medicine, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
