Abstract
In the visible and near infrared regions, compression of phase-modulated ultrashort light pulses by linear optical elements is a powerful method to compensate for pulse lengthening caused by dispersion in optical elements, thus increasing the peak intensity and temporal resolution in application experiments. Compression of amplified 248-nm laser pulses down to 45 fs has been demonstrated, and for amplified 193-nm laser pulses, shortening from 850 fs to 310 fs in a prism compressor has been achieved.2
