Abstract

The spectral and temporal characteristics of supercontinuum pulses propagating through monodisperse scattering media consisting of sub-lambda-sized particles have been measured with a broad-bandwidth cross-correlated frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) technique. The results show that the ballistic component of the supercontinuum preserves a phase relationship among its spectral components, which acquire a temporal shift in relation to propagation in a non-scattering medium.
