Fivefold compression of 250-TW laser pulses

The pulse spectrum at the laser output was broadened due to self-phase modulation in fused silica and then the pulse was compressed by chirped mirrors. It was demonstrated that with an optimal choice of mirror dispersion a pulse with an energy of 17 J can be compressed from 70 to 14 fs. This compres...

Zusammenfassung:	The pulse spectrum at the laser output was broadened due to self-phase modulation in fused silica and then the pulse was compressed by chirped mirrors. It was demonstrated that with an optimal choice of mirror dispersion a pulse with an energy of 17 J can be compressed from 70 to 14 fs. This compression after compressor approach has undoubted merits: simplicity, low cost, negligible pulse energy losses, and applicability to any high-power laser.
