Brewster-angled chirped mirrors for broadband pulse compression without dispersion oscillations

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We use Brewster-angled chirped mirrors for dispersion compensation of a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier. This novel mirror design virtually eliminates spurious surface reflections and resultant dispersion ripple. The absence of compression artifacts is demonstrated by the generation of clean 5.6fs pulses, with what is believed to be an unprecedented low ripple-induced satellite content for a nonadaptive scheme. In addition, the 270THz spectral coverage allows generation of widely tunable visible pulses of 8to15fs duration.
