Spectral coherence properties of continuum generation in bulk crystals

Optics 2022-06-08 v1

Abstract

The stability of the phase difference between two white-light continua, generated from the same 180-fs pulses at 1035\,nm, is assessed by a modified Bellini-Hansch interferometer. Mutual spectral stability is studied as a function of several parameters: position of the nonlinear crystal with respect to the beam waist, interaction length, and pulse energy. Intensity-to-phase coupling coefficients are measured and stability regions are identified.
