Abstract:
Two-stage compression of laser pulses with a power of 250 TW is experimentally realised by broadening their spectrum during self-phase modulation in fused silica and subsequent dispersion compensation upon reflection from chirping mirrors. A fivefold decrease in the duration is demonstrated, from 75 to 15 fs, with a B-integral value of about 5 at each stage. It is possible to avoid small-scale self-focusing due to self-filtering of the laser beam during free propagation in vacuum. With optimal parameters of the dispersive mirror, the pulse can be compressed to a duration of less than 5 fs.
Keywords:
high-power femtosecond laser pulses, two-stage nonlinear compression, self-phase modulation.
