An asymmetrically induced phase modulation resulting in an intensity-dependent spatial beam deflection and a subsequent spatial filtering have been used for all-optical pulse shaping and shortening. A compression factor of eight and controllable symmetrical super-Gaussian pulses and pulse trains have been observed in a good agreement with previous analyses in a pump-probe beam configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
