Femtosecond white-light continuum pulses.
We obtain gigawatt white-light continuum pulses that permit spectroscopic measurements with a time resolution of 80 fsec. These pulses extend continuously from 0.19 to 1.6 microm and have time sweeps as small as 10 fsec/1000 A. We find temporal, spatial, and spectral properties that are consistent with self-phase modulation having a prominent role in generation of the continuum.
