Spherical aberration in spatial and temporal transforming lenses of femtosecond laser pulses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the influence of third-order spherical aberration on the group velocity dispersion and on the propagation time delay of a plane pulse that is focused by a thin lens. Applications in refractive-diffractive propagation time delay compensation systems and in Gaussian temporal-shaped pulses are analyzed.

Distortion of femtosecond laser pulses in lenses.
Large temporal front distortion of femtosecond pulses occurs in lenses having chromatic aberration. The effect is due to the difference between the phase and group velocities. Equations describing the pulse-front delay in singlet lenses, achromats, and compound lenses are presented. The pulse-front delay is several orders of magnitude larger than the broadening caused by group-velocity dispersi...
متن کاملFabrication of polarization-independent waveguides deeply buried in lithium niobate crystal using aberration-corrected femtosecond laser direct writing
Writing optical waveguides with femtosecond laser pulses provides the capability of forming three-dimensional photonic circuits for manipulating light fields in both linear and nonlinear manners. To fully explore this potential, large depths of the buried waveguides in transparent substrates are often desirable to facilitate achieving vertical integration of waveguides in a multi-layer configur...
متن کاملCharacteristics and Applications of Spatiotemporally Focused Femtosecond Laser Pulses
Simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing (SSTF) of femtosecond laser pulses gives rise to strong suppression of nonlinear self-focusing during the propagation of the femtosecond laser beam. In this paper, we begin with an introduction of the principle of SSTF, followed by a review of our recent experimental results on the characterization and application of the spatiotemporally focused pulses...
متن کاملHigh-aspect ratio nanochannel formation by single femtosecond laser pulses
Single femtosecond pulsed laser damage can be confined radially to regions smaller than the focus spot size due to the highly nonlinear mechanisms for energy absorption and ablation in transparent dielectrics. Along the propagation axis, however, we show that channels can be machined much deeper than the Rayleigh range of the laser focus. Using focused ion beam cross sections and acetate imprin...
متن کاملComparison of higher-order aberration induction between manual microkeratome and femtosecond laser flap creation.
PURPOSE To compare the mean change in aberrations produced by a mechanical microkeratome and femtosecond laser. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 62 consecutive near emmetropic eyes that underwent LASIK and satisfied the following criteria: negligible laser ablation (for spherical equivalent of 0.00 to +0.50 diopters and maximum meridian of +0.50 diopters), and preoperative and at lea...
