Abstract
We employ a genetic algorithm to control a pulse-shaping system pumping a nonlinear photonic crystal with ultrashort pulses. With this system, we are able to modify the spectrum of the generated supercontinuum (SC) radiation to yield narrow Gaussian-like features around pre-selected wavelengths over the whole SC spectrum.
