“…The availability of shaped pulses in the UV can be applied in the control of electronic responses of atoms and molecules. In this region, micro-mirror SLM and acousto-optic devices are now employed in a Fourier pulse-shaping geometry [12,13]. Moreover, femtosecond pulses from a hard x-ray free-electron laser, which will open up new horizons for femtochemistry, nanoscale dynamics and molecular biological science, are currently under construction [14].…”

Abstract:The strong chromatic behavior associated with a conventional diffractive lens is fully exploited to propose a novel optical device for pulse shaping in the femtosecond regime. This device consists of two optical elements: a spatially patterned circularly symmetric mask and a kinoform diffractive lens, which are facing each other. The system performs a mapping between the spatial position of the masking function expressed in the squared radial coordinate and the temporal position in the output waveform. This space-to-time conversion occurs at the chromatic focus of the diffractive lens, and makes it possible to tailor the output central wavelength along the axial location of the output point. Inspection of the validity of our device is performed by means of computer simulations involving the generation of femtosecond optical packets.

“…[7] This led us to develop a new pulse shaper based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) micromirror arrays. Unlike previous developments using commercial wavefront correction devices, [8][9][10] our approach consists of tailoring a micromirror array for this specific application. [11] The 100-micromirrors contained within the device allow excellent reflectivity over the whole DUV-Vis-NIR (Al coating, Typ.…”

“…Also acoustooptical modulators [75,76], which shape the optical electric field by diffracting it on a modulated acoustic wave, can be used for this purpose [77], albeit with a low diffraction efficiency and hence low throughput. Micro mirror arrays [78], which consist of individually addressable small mirrors, have also been introduced for this purpose [79]. While these devices are probably the most efficient solution to the problem, they were not commercially available until recently, and could therefore not be employed in the experiments presented here.…”
