In this paper we report on successful supercontinuum generation extending from the near to the mid‐infrared region in the range 700–2500 nm in a micro‐structured fiber made of lead‐bismuth‐galate glass and pumped in the femtosecond regime with a wavelength of 1540 nm. The flatness of 5 dB is observed in most of the registered spectrum 1000 – 2500 nm. The improved spectral and thermo‐physical properties of this custom made lead‐bismuth‐galate glass against tellurite and commercially available heavy oxide SF‐57 glasses are presented.
