The combination of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO/sub 4/ picosecond laser source with tapered fibers allows the realization of a compact white light source with an average output power of up to 5.6 W. We generated supercontinua with an efficiency of /spl sim/ 50 % over a spectral range of up to 1150 nm by using a series of tapered fibers.
