Abstract

The nonlinear generation of ultrabroad super-continuum (SC) light from low-energy pulses was first observed using a short length of microstructured fibre with a micron-sized core and large air holes.1 Femtosecond pulses from an un-amplified Ti:sapphire laser were converted into white light with a spectrum two octaves broad (400-1600 nm) in a single transverse mode. This breakthrough enabled advances in a variety of scientific applications.
