I was able to create a near replica in photoshop by using a rainbow gradient left to right.

And then creating 2 layers- one with black to transparent gradient in the bottom and white to transparent gradient on top.

That did the trick I think.

You can pull the same trick in other color spaces to obtain different spectra. –  Emre Dec 20 '12 at 20:01
