This article informs that intense ultrafast broadband "white-light" pulses spanning the ultraviolet to the near-infrared are called a supercontinuum. With the advent of the SC in microstructured fibers, there has been a rebirth and significant advancement in the SC field. Applications now include optical communication, optical coherence tomography, ultrashort pulse compression, broad-spectrum light detection and ranging, atmospheric science, frequency clocks, phase stabilization and control, timing, lighting control, and attosecond pulse effects. |
