Abstract
We propose a ray-tracing model that provides a clear physical picture and simple formulas for grating pair stretcher dispersion calculations. With this model we can easily demonstrate why and to what extent the stretcher and compressor are opposite quantitatively without using a Fourier transform. The dispersion calculation shows that the spherical aberration in the stretcher decreases fourth-order dispersion compared with an aberration-free stretcher. In a chirped pulse amplification system, this fourth order can help to reduce residual fourth-order dispersion. The effect of the finite beam size and the misalignment are also considered.
