Supercontinuum laser light in the mid-infrared regime is important for applications in optical coherence tomography of biological samples, but the generation of supercontinuum light is difficult. I propose an efficient method to simulate supercontinuum generation by modelling light propagation in soft-glass optical fibers based on the non-linear Schrödinger equation.
