Abstract
Conventional optical pulse compression is accomplished in two stages: first by performing quadratic phase modulation of the pulses and then propagating the modulated pulses through a dispersive delay line. In this paper we demonstrate a novel method of periodic pulse compression that does not require propagation of the pulses in a dispersive delay line. This method is based on the use of pulse repetition rate multiplication, and can be explained with the help of the temporal Talbot effect.1
