Hybrid optics for focusing ultrashort laser pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a specially designed hybrid optics comprising refraction and diffraction effects for tight spatial and temporal focusing of ultrashort laser pulses. Both aims can be put into practice by having a high numerical aperture (NA=0.45) and low internal dispersion at the same time. We are presenting what we believe is the first experimental realization of such a hybrid short plus focusing optics. The focusing properties are compared with a commonly used microscope objective (20×,NA=0.45) in theory and experimentally.
