Destructive nonlinear processes have limited the useful input power to a few megawatts for
supercontinuum generation in bulk material. Consequently, reliable high-power, high-pulse …

We present a semiconductor injection laser operating in continuous wave with emission
covering more than one octave in frequency and displaying homogeneous power …

Over the past four years, there has been a surge of activity in the supercontinuum field since
the introduction of various types of microstructure fibers. The main reason for this great …

Numerical simulations have been used in studies of the temporal and spectral features of
supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal and tapered optical fibers. In particular, an …

We report a comprehensive investigation of femtosecond continuum generation in single
crystals of several common laser host materials. The absolute spectral energy density, pulse …

In supercontinuum generation, various propagation effects combine to produce a dramatic
spectral broadening of intense ultrashort optical pulses. With a host of applications …

Supercontinuum generation is investigated experimentally and numerically in a highly
