Wikipedia: Supercontinuum
published by the Wikipedia
The Wikipedia page "Supercontinuum" describes a laser that produces white light in a glass fiber. The page includes the history of work on this kind of laser and a technical description of its operation. A striking photo shows the laser light changing color as it passes through a coil with many turns of fiber.
