Angular dispersion of femtosecond pulses in a Gaussian beam

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The angular dispersion of spatially Gaussian laser pulses, unlike for plane waves, changes with the distance between the disperser and the observer and between the beam waist and the disperser. The formula that is derived is experimentally verified by use of a high-precision measurement technique. Because the angular dispersion of a Gaussian beam is substantially different from that of a plane wave after the same disperser, the phenomenon may be of special interest for short-pulsed laser systems, for which alignment of the stretcher–compressor system for zero residual angular dispersion is essential.
