چکیده
A novel aberration-free pulse stretcher design is presented. This system permits the stretching of a 30-fs pulse to 300 ps and recompression to a duration of 33 fs, limited by the spectral clipping.

Efficient angular dispersion compensation in holographic generation of intense ultrashort paraxial beam modes.
We experimentally demonstrate that small misalignments of the pulse stretcher or compressor of our chirped-pulse-amplification laser can precompensate for angular chirp when producing ultrashort paraxial beam modes with holographic gratings. Using this approach we can eliminate one of the two gratings needed in our 2f-2f setup [Mariyenko, Opt. Express 13, 7599 (2005)]. This allows for up to an ...
متن کاملWhat We Can Learn about Ultrashort Pulses by Linear Optical Methods
Spatiotemporal compression of ultrashort pulses is one of the key issues of chirped pulse amplification (CPA), the most common method to achieve high intensity laser beams. Successful shaping of the temporal envelope and recombination of the spectral components of the broadband pulses need careful alignment of the stretcher-compressor stages. Pulse parameters are required to be measured at the ...

متن کاملSpatiotemporal noise characterization for chirped-pulse amplification systems
Optical noise, the core of the pulse-contrast challenge for ultra-high peak power femtosecond lasers, exhibits spatiotemporal (ST) coupling induced by angular dispersion. Full characterization of such ST noise requires two-dimensional measurements in the ST domain. Thus far, all noise measurements have been made only in the temporal domain. Here we report the experimental characterization of th...
