Using this technology, we generate an octave-spanning supercontinuum in dispersion engineered waveguides, spanning from the near infrared to the ultraviolet spectral regions. %Z We also acknowledge the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and EPSRC for funding.
