Hs. Tan et al., Generation and amplification of ultrashort shaped pulses in the visible bya two-stage noncollinear optical parametric process, OPTICS LETT, 26(22), 2001, pp. 1812-1814
We report the generation and amplification of ultrashort shaped pulses in t
he visible by a two-stage noncollinear optical parametric amplification pro
cess. Phase and amplitude profiles of the shaped pulses are conserved in ou
r amplification scheme. The energy losses normally associated with the prod
uction of complex shaped pulses are eliminated. (C) 2001 Optical Society of
