摘要: We introduce a new extracavity pulse-compression technique suitable for generating high-energy femtosecond pulses. This is based on spectral broadening by self-phase modulation in bulk media followed far-field spatial filtering, which provides uniform over the profile combined with transmission of 50%. In principle, this allows compression pulses energy up to ∼100 mJ factor 3–5. proof-of-principle experiment, we compressed 42-fs, 480-μJ pulse 14-fs, 220-μJ pulse.
