A generating device (DG) comprises: ⋅ a pulse laser source (SL) providing primary photons having at least one wavelength, ⋅ shaping means (MM) acting on the primary photons to provide an input beam, ⋅ a nonlinear crystal (CN), and ⋅ control means (MC) generating, in the nonlinear crystal (CN), at least one electric field that is synchronous with the input beam and suitable for inducing a phase mismatching in the nonlinear crystal (CN) through an electro-optical effect, in order to convert the primary photons of the input beam into secondary photons having wavelengths belonging to a supercontinuum. |
