摘要
We identify the white light supercontinuum generated by femtosecond Ti-sapphire laser pulses as an ultrafast white light laser because the relative coherence lengths of all the wavelength components of the supercontinuum are essentially the same as that of the laser pulse when compared to an incoherent white light source.
