| References or URLs for relevant information on this source: | J. W. Walewski and S. T. Sanders, Opt. Lett., Vol. 30(18), p. 2394, 2005 |
| Additional information / notes: | Based on a supercontinuum generated in photonic crystal fiber pumped by a Nd micro-chip laser. The continuum is then dispersed in a multi-mode fiber. Applied to rapid LIF excitation scans. The scanning width stated below was limited by the photodetector and could be extended by at least 2000 wavenumbers. |
