The extreme spectral broadening of light in supercontinuum generation(SCG)is considered by many as the ultimate legacy of nonlinear optics.In this interview,Light:Science&Applications invited John Dudley[see the“Short Bio”section]-pioneer of supercontinuum generation,rogue waves,and ultrafast lasers-to share insight on how supercontinuum generation have evolved over the past decades and where it is heading.Also as the Steering Chair of UNESCO’s International Day of Light&International Year of Light(IDL&IYL),John is asked to share his comments on how light may influence post-pandemic World.
