Abstract
We present a spectral phase-only shaping technique allowing to generate arbitrary temporal shapes and demonstrate its use for ultrafast ytterbium-based laser sources. This technique is based on the introduction of a nonlinear chirp that is determined solely by the input spectral intensity and the target temporal intensity. We describe its working principle and experimentally demonstrate the generation of triangle-shaped pulses at the output of a laser source, which delivers 150 μ J, sub-200 fs pulses at 150 kHz. These pulses are then passed through a nonlinear multipass cell to observe wavelength shifting via self-phase modulation. A spectral tunabibility of 14 nm is achieved around the input central wavelength of 1034 nm.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
