Experimental evidence is presented that standard optical fibres can be used to efficiently convert nanosecond pulses at 1.59 {mu}m to a supercontinuum in the range 1.6 - 2.4 {mu}m. The highest efficiency of conversion to wavelengths above 2 {mu}m, 38%, has been offered by a multimode graded-index fibre. The spectral density of average power in the range 2 - 2.35 {mu}m in this fibre is about 1 mW nm{sup -1} and that of peak power is about 10 W nm{sup -1}. In all the fibres studied, the practical long-wavelength limit of generation is 2.35 {mu}m.
