Supercontinuum generation#
The four mechanisms of supercontinuum generation in gas-filled hollow-core fibres – self-phase modulation, soliton self-compression and dispersive-wave emission, modulational instability, and Raman comb-to-continuum – with ensembles of noisy shots for the averaged spectrum, its relative intensity noise and its first-order coherence. The MI ensemble uses eight seeded shots over 0.4 m; the Raman comb-to-continuum example uses one seeded shot over 0.4 m and does not estimate ensemble coherence. The SPM and soliton examples use twenty shots. Measured runtimes and backends are reported on the individual pages; they depend on the problem and machine.
