Tunable narrow-bandwidth picosecond pulses by spectral compression of femtosecond pulses in second-order nonlinear crystals

Conference Paper

Publication Date:

abstract:

We exploit second-harmonic generation with large group velocity mismatch to efficiently convert femtosecond pulses into tunable narrowband picosecond pulses. The temporal shape of the picosecond pulses can be tailored by engineering the aperiodically poled crystal. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America
