title: Supercontinuum generated by six-photon mixing.
abstract: We obtain the shape, phase, and spectral distribution of an ultrafast pulse propagating in a chi((5)) medium (six-photon mixing). The calculation is performed in the plane-wave approximation for a dispersionless medium but with self-steepening present.
