We report 12.8 W supercontinuum generation with a high optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of up to 85%in an all-fiber device.This is achieved by using an all-fiber picosecond master oscillator power amplifier laser,which has an output pigtail double clad fiber,to pump a 3-m photonic crystal fiber with the core at one end enlarged by adiabatically collapsing two inner layers of air holes while keeping other holes open.Our experimental results show that the short-wavelength generation is due to dispersive wave trapping by redshifted solitons.
