Photonic crystal fiber is a preferred choice to generate ultra-broadband spectrum for its outstanding advantages of highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber and the flexibility to adjust the dispersion. As fiber lasers develop, ytterbium-doped fiber laser with compact structure, high stability, low maintenance and high efficiency is best choice of the pump source for flat supercontinuum. However, the visible light of high frequency, which is away from the wavelength of the laser and the zero-dispersion wavelength of fiber, is difficult to generate. So we call it “blue-ray defects”. Researchers at home and abroad focus on the goal of how to achieve a flat supercontinuum covering the visible under lower power. Therefore, the study of dispersion characteristics and nonlinear characteristics of photonic crystal fiber and their effects on supercontinuum generation, design of new highly nonlinear fiber structure and improved fiber preparation becomes more and more important This thesis introduces the theory of the transmission of the light pulse in a nonlinear medium and the nonlinear effects that are responsible for the generation of supercontinuum. The process of supercontinuum generation is displayed in detail. Then the study analyzed how fiber structure parameters, chemical parameters and pump conditions, such as the pump wavelength, power and pulse width, affect spectral broadening. A method to expand spectrum optimally is put forward according to simulation results. Finally, a series of experiments is carried out including uniform fiber, zero dispersion wavelength decreasing fiber, fibers with different core diameters and multi-core fibers. The spectrum has extended to the blue and flat continuum covering 406.1-671.8nm was generated. Our results indicate that zero dispersion wavelength decr
