Abstract
We demonstrate that the group velocities of interacting pulses can be adjusted by pulse tilting to optimize second-harmonic pulse compressio n for a variety of nonlinear crystals and wavelengths. As an experimen tal proof we present results of ninefold compression of 1.3-ps Nd:glas s laser pulses in beta-barium berate crystal. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
