Popis: We show that the spectral distribution of the supercontinuum (SC) generated in barium fluoride is amenable to alteration simply by controlling the second- and third-order phase distortion of incident femtosecond-duration pulses. The second- and third-order phase distortions are controlled by an acoustic-optic programmable dispersive filter (AOPDF). The spectral extent on the blue side of the SC is influenced by independently varying the phase distortion of an ultrashort laser pulse.
