distributed such that it is approximately >20% in the visible spectrum and <80% in
the IR spectrum.
Note: Performance may vary between individual lasers, always refer to the factory
test report for your SuperK COMPACT for specific information on its output perfor-
mance.

Output pulse
The output pulse of the SuperK Compact is a dispersed pulse of the
supercontinuum with a pulse length of less than 2 ns. The pulse shape is
independent of the laser repetition rate and the spectral distribution of the output
spectrum does not change upon a change in repetition rate but remains constant
at any set rate. An approximation of the pulse is depicted in Figure 3 below.
