Abstract

Multiplate continuum (MPC) is a recent supercontinuum generation technique for spectral broadening of ultrashort laser pulses. In this work, we report the first direct temporal characterization of ultrashort laser pulses generated by the MPC process, without any further pulse manipulation apart from dispersion compensation, using the dispersion scan technique.
