Photonics Spectra Preview - March 2023

Technically complex, costly, and delicate to operate, supercontinuum generation is no easy endeavor. But its unique optical properties and efficient illumination combined with incremental advances in technology have further fueled demand for these sources in applications ranging from spectroscopy, frequency comb generation, and quantum computing. Contributing editor Marie Freebody surveys supercontinuum suppliers, integrators and even start-ups to learn what's evolving.
