The noise of continuous-wave-pumped broadband continua generated in a holey fiber is characterized in two different all-fiber configurations. An amplified spontaneous emission seeded ytterbium-doped fiber source and fiber Bragg grating based Yb laser were employed to initiate Raman-soliton continuum generation in 100m of anomalously dispersive holey fiber with spectral width of 300nm and spectral power density over 10mW/nm. Low noise operation makes these sources suitable for optical coherence tomography applications.
