Short and Ultrashort Laser Pulses

摘要: In this contribution some basic properties of femtosecond laser pulses are summarized. Sect. 12.1 we start with the linear ultrashort light pulses. Nonlinear optical effects that would alter frequency spectrum an pulse not considered. However, due to large bandwidth, dispersion is responsible for dramatic effects. For example, a 10 fs at center wavelength 800 nm propagating through 4 mm BK7 glass will be temporally broadened 50 fs. order describe and manage such mathematical description given first before continue methods how change temporal shape via domain. The chapter ends paragraph on powerful technique shaping, which can used create complex-shaped respect phase, amplitude polarization state.
