Supercontinuum Generation in Photonics Crystal Fibers

Supercontinuum is extreme spectral broadening of optical pulses as it travels through a medium, which results in generation of white light with extremely high intensity. Photonic Crystal Fibers have emerged as potential candidates for SC generation due to their unique optical properties and low power requirements. This talk will enable the audience to understand the mechanism of SC generation, various PCF structures and optical materials suitable for SC generation.
