Abstract

A new wave equation for the electrical field evolution of intensive femtosecond light pulses in isotropic transparent media is presented. It is demonstrated that a 'light bubble' can evolve from a few-optical cycle pulse propagating through a fused silica bulk. The two-octave spectrum supercontinuum is theoretically observed.
