Abstract
The use of high intensity ultrashort laser pulses in the study of hot, high density plasmas requires pulses of extreme temporal fidelity. We have developed a system that provides continuously variable independe nt tuning of the higher order frequency dependent phase of ultrashort laser pulses. Numerical results are presented indicating that higher o rder phase terms that lead to temporal wings can be compensated by a p roperly adjusted air spaced doublet lens within the pulse stretcher.
