In the real time code I use for numerical time propagation, usually we use laser pulses with a Gaussian envelop and a central frequency. To obtain a pulse with a broad spectral range (few eV) very short laser pulses need to be selected (sub fs).
I'm looking for a laser pulse with a broad spectral range (again few eV) which is also longer than 10 fs. One option would be to use chirped pulses. Are there alternatives, i.e. non chirped pulses?
