Forming of ultrafast light pulses with predetermined temporal shape
Abstract
The reflectivity function of a grating was modified by diaphragmas near the surface. The temporal shape of an ultrashort laser pulse has been measured after passing the grating spectrograph using a streak camera. This shape exactly mirrors the spatial shape of the reflectivity function of the grating if the laser pulse length is sufficiently small.
