Applications of Supercontinuum: Present and Future

  • Chapter
The Supercontinuum Laser Source

Abstract

Over the past two decades the supercontinuum light source has been extensively used in laser spectroscopy research such as inverse Raman scattering (Alfano and Shapiro, 1971), time-resolved induced absorption in liquids and solids (Alfano and Shapiro, 1971; Greene et al., 1978), primary vision processes (Doukas et al., 1980), energy transfer mechanisms in photosynthesis (Searle et al., 1978; hot carrier and exciton relaxation processes in semiconductors (von der Linde and Lambrich, 1979; Shank et al., 1982), and time-resolved multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (Goldberg, 1982), to name a few.
