A white light continuum was generated by a self-trapped intense femtosecond laser pulse in atmospheric-pressure rare gas, krypton. The measured broad spectrum of the generated white light ranged from 300 nm to more than 950 nm. This new light source was utilized for the first time to perform three-w...
