Nonlinear propagation of intense femtosecond laser pulses in bulk transparent media leads to a specific propagation regime, termed femtosecond filamentation, which in turn produces dramatic spectral broadening, or superbroadening, termed supercontinuum generation. Femtosecond supercontinuum generation in transparent solids represents a compact, efficient and alignment-insensitive technique for generation of coherent broadband radiation at various parts of the optical spectrum, which finds numerous applications in diverse fields of modern ultrafast science. During recent years, this research field has reached a high level of maturity, both in understanding of the underlying physics and in achievement of exciting practical results. In this paper we overview the state-of-the-art femtosecond supercontinuum generation in various transparent solid-state media, ranging from wide-bandgap dielectrics to semiconductor materials and in various parts of the optical spectrum, from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared spectral range. A particular emphasis is given to the most recent experimental developments: multioctave supercontinuum generation with pumping in the mid-infrared spectral range, spectral control, power and energy scaling of broadband radiation and the development of simple, flexible and robust pulse compression techniques, which deliver few optical cycle pulses and which could be readily implemented in a variety of modern ultrafast laser systems.

“…A typical chirped-pulse amplifier (CPA) based on a commercial multipass Ti:sapphire system (Femtopower Pro, Femtolasers GmbH) delivers pulses 900-μJ, 28-fs laser pulses with a 55-nm bandwidth centered at 800 nm and 3-kHz repetition rate (Rolland et al, 1988, Cerullo et al 2000, Marcatili et al 1964. A Ti:sapphire oscillator (Rainbow; Femtolasers GmbH) produces sub-10 fs seed pulses with 2.4 nJ energy at 76 MHz.…”

“…Therefore, the need for new spectral broadening techniques was born with the availability of high-energy (mJ) femtosecond pulses from solid-state laser amplifiers. One possibility is to achieve spectral broadening in bulk materials but due to the very short interaction length, limited by Rayleigh lengths, high intensities are needed to achieve the necessary nonlinearity for spectral broadening (Rolland et al, 1988). These high intensities can lead to damage and spatial beam quality problems due to multiphoton ionization.…”
