Self Deflection of Supercontinuum Generation

Résumé du livre

The supercontinuum light generated by oblique intense 100 fs ultrafast laser pulses was found to deflect from the direction of the indcident pulses. The emission direction of the anti-Stokes continuum due to self phase modulation deflects to one side while the conical ring due to four photon parametric generation delects to the other side. This self deflection of supercontinuum emissions may be attributed to the spatial variation in refractive index induced by the oblique pulse front. [Authors' abstract].
