Abstract :
There are two common approaches for theoretical explanation of supercontinuum generation. The first is based on the model of high-order solitons fission. The second includes the effect of spectral broadening due to stimulated Raman scattering. To understand nonlinear processes that occurs within the supercontinuum regime the use of the solution of the linear scattering problem for nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NSE solitonic spectrum) is proposed. The equation governing the supercontinuum is the NSE in which delayed Kerr nonlinearity and Raman response were included.
