We report on experimental results of supercontinuum generation in bulk diamond. The spectrum of supercontinuum generated with 800 nm pump extends up to 600 nm towards short wavelengths. We present the numerical model explaining the phenomenon, in which the role of different nonlinear effects including stimulated Raman scattering is discussed. Unlike in other materials, in diamond the feature of supercontinuum due to stimulated Raman response is apparently visible.
