A supercontinuum is turn out when a group of non-linear processes act together upon a pump beam in order to cause a specific spectral broadening of original beam. The result is smooth spectral continuum (approx.60nm of broadening as supercontinuum). This paper aims to numerically simulate the formation of a supercontinuum in the near-ultraviolet (around 200 -400 nm) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. An analysis of how changes in the variables and the fiber parameters affected the super-continua that were generated was undertaken. Some of the novel applications of supercontinuum and its future scopes are also discussed.

Intelligent wearable clothing can be seen as textiles that possess the capability of sensing and responding to environmental changes. The clothing sense the physical activity of the person and his environment, monitor and analyze it, and accordingly attempts to respond in most appropriate manner. Intelligent textiles are laced with embedded electronics sensors and other circuitry into fabric thereby resulting in smart outfits capable of an array of diverse applications. Intelligent textiles find applications in defense sectors, railways, firefighters, police, skydivers, sports-persons and other professional activities. The aim of this study is to highlight the protective applications of wearable intelligent textiles and their significance in the present context.
