Abstract
Ultrabroadband signals were found to be generated by cascaded four-wave mixing in a bulk medium by using two crossing femtosecond laser pulses. As many as fifteen spectral upshifted pulses and two spectral downshifted pulses were obtained with spectral bandwidth broader than 1.5 octaves. Bright upshifted pulses were observed on both sides of the two crossing beams. Two dimensional multicolored arrays were observed for the first time in a sapphire plate medium.Keywords
