We experimentally demonstrate an all-fiber, ultraviolet-enhanced, supercontinuum generation in a specifically designed seven-core photonic crystal fiber pumped by a picosecond Yb-doped master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). The MOPA source is seeded by a giant-chirped Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser operating in the dissipative-soliton-resonance (DSR) region. The DSR is achieved by using a nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) with a fundamental repetition rate of 4.5 MHz and a central wavelength of 1035 nm. An extremely wide optical spectrum spanning from 350 nm to 2400 nm is obtained with a total output power of 6.86 W.
