Abstract

We report experimental and theoretical investigation of supercontinuum generation in broad spectral range from 500 nm to 2500 nm induced in water and bulk fused silica by 1mJ 150-fs pulses at 780 nm excitation wavelength. We find that experiments may be modeled theoretically by considering Raman- and Kerr-type nonlinearities such as transient stimulated Raman scattering, parametric four-photon mixing, self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation.
