Multi-octave supercontinuum generation from mid-infrared filamentation in a bulk crystal

We present supercontinuum generation pumped by femtosecond mid-infrared pulses in a bulk homogeneous material. The spectrum extends from 450 nm into the midinfrared, and carries high spectral energy density (3 pJ/nm–10 nJ/nm). The supercontinuum has high shot-to-shot reproducibility and preserves th...
