Abstract: We report the generation of sequences of phase-coherent white-light pulses in bulk media. By passing the pulses from an amplified femtosecond laser through an etalon cavity, we produce an equally spaced time sequence of phase-locked pulses that serve as the pump for the generation of supercontinuum. The mutual coherence among the white-light pulses is probed by studying their spectral interference patterns for varying pump energy levels. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
