Abstract
Multiplate continuum [1] (MPC) is a recent supercontinuum generation (SCG) technique for spectral broadening of ultrashort laser pulses. Compared to the well-established SCG of mJ-level pulses by self-phase modulation in gas-filled hollow-core fibers (HCFs) [2,3], the MPC uses solid-state media (a set of thin glass plates) and has more relaxed beam alignment and stability requirements. An important advantage of MPC is that it effectively circumvents the limited input peak power of traditional SCG in bulk media, showing great promise for scaling to higher pulse energies and peak power compared to HCF-based compression.
