Abstract
The characteristics of the supercontinuum generated in photonic crystal fibers were investigated by using the generalized nonlinear $Schr\"{o}dinger$ equation and the split-step Fourier method. Based on the simulated results, we generated the supercontinuum spectrum with the flatness of ${\pm}4dB$ in the wavelength range of 650 to 900 nm by employing a 200-fs pulse of Ti:sapphire laser and a commercial photonic crystal fiber.
