White light continuum generation
Focusing a narrowband laser beam into a birefringent crystal causes spectral broadening due to nonlinear optical processes, which results in the so-called ‘white light continuum’. The purple spot on the optical element in the middle is part of the generated white light continuum. Credit: Daniel Pasche, courtesy of Zsuzsanna Heiner
Recent advances in next-generation laser technology could take us a step closer to understanding the
