A. Suda et al., A spatial light modulator based on fused-silica plates for adaptive feedback control of intense femtosecond laser pulses, OPT EXPRESS, 9(1), 2001, pp. 2-6
A novel spatial light modulator (SLM) made of an array of fused-silica plat
es was developed for the purpose of feedback control for intense femtosecon
d laser pulses over a wide spectral range. Dispersion compensation for 20-f
s pulses from a Ti:sapphire oscillator was successfully demonstrated using
the SLM with an adaptive feedback control system. The SLM was also applied
to the output pulses from a Ti:sapphire amplifier for compensation of mater
