A. Dreischuh et al., PULSE SHAPING AND SHORTENING BY SPATIAL-FILTERING OF AN INDUCED-PHASE-MODULATED PROBE WAVE, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 30(7), 1994, pp. 1656-1661
All-optical deflection and spatial filtering have been used to theoret
ically model pulse shortening and shaping. Good agreement is obtained
with the experimental results of other authors. Pulses with a shorteni
ng coefficient of the order of 10, special forms as super-Gaussian, tr
iangular-like, and pairs Of pulses with an adjustable peak-to-peak rat
io are obtained.
