Abstract

We demonstrate the use of a very simple, compact, and versatile method, based on the hollow-fiber compression technique, to shorten the temporal length of visible laser pulses of 100–300fs to pulse durations shorter than ≈50fs. In particular, 200fs, frequency-doubled, Nd:glass laser pulses (527nm) were spectrally broadened to final bandwidths as large as 25nm by nonlinear propagation through an Ar-filled hollow fiber. A compact, dispersive, prism-pair compressor was then used to produce as short as 40fs, 150μJ pulses. A very satisfactory agreement between numerical simulations and measurements is found.
