Abstract
We obtain gigawatt white-light continuum pulses that permit spectroscopic measurements with a time resolution of 80 fsec. These pulses extend continuously from 0.19 to 1.6 μm and have time sweeps as small as 10 fsec/1000 Å. We find temporal, spatial, and spectral properties that are consistent with self-phase modulation having a prominent role in generation of the continuum.
