Example of Experimental Setup (IMAGE)
Caption
An ultrashort pulse is sent into an optical fibre and produces new frequency components via intense light-matter interactions. The progressive spectral broadening of the initial light pulse occurring during propagation, ultimately leads to the formation of a so-called supercontinuum. In the example here, this corresponds to a "white light" source which, similarly to a rainbow, is composed of all the colours seen in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
