چکیده
The effect of rapid phase change on chirped continuum pulses is studied with a frequency-domain interferometer. Because of the chirp, temporal evolution of the optical Kerr response in CS(2) is projected into difference phase spectra. The chirped continuum shows spectral shifts that are due to induced phase modulation even when the continuum has a flat spectrum.

Programmable femtosecond pulse shaping by use of a multielement liquid-crystal phase modulator.
We report programmable shaping of femtosecond optical pulses by use of a multielement liquid-crystal modulator to manipulate the phases of spatially dispersed optical frequency components. Our approach provides for continuously variable control of the optical phase and permits the pulse shape to be reconfigured on a millisecond time scale. We use the apparatus to demonstrate femtosecond pulse-p...

The paper is devoted to new trends in dispersive control techniques for ultrafast light emission. Acoustooptical dispersive delay lines for controlling the spectral components and phase composition of ultrashort laser pulses are considered. The method of super high frequency modulation of chirped femtosecond laser pulses is proposed. Theoretical approach to dispersive pulse shaping is supported...
متن کاملPhase and intensity characterization of femtosecond pulses from a chirped-pulse amplifier by frequency-resolved optical gating.
Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) measurements were made to characterize pulses from a Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplified laser system. By characterizing both the pulse intensity and the phase, the FROG data provided the first direct observation to our knowledge of residual phase distortion in a chirped-pulse amplifier. The FROG technique was also used to measure the regenerative amplif...
متن کاملComplete characterization of optical pulses using a chirped fiber Bragg grating
A simple method for complete characterization of periodic optical pulses based on time domain interferometry is demonstrated. The method does not require the use of an interferometer. A chirped fiber Bragg grating is used for stretching the pulses to be characterized. The interference between the stretched overlapped pulses is recorded by a photodiode and a sampling oscilloscope. The phase resp...
متن کاملDiagnostic of Laser-Plasmas: Single-shot Supercontinuum Spectral Interferometry
Ultrafast optical diagnostics play a vital role in probing the dynamics in laser-matter interactions, including those observed in the high intensity ultrashort laser pulse regime. We developed a new femtosecond optical diagnostic, single-shot supercontinuum spectral interferometry (SSSI), which measures ultra-rapid transients in the complex index of refraction induced by an intense laser pulse....
