Compensation of self-phase modulation in chirped-pulse amplification laser systems.
Small amounts of self-phase modulation can lead to significant pulse distortions in chirped-pulse amplifiers. However, we show the surprising result that the strong chirp of the pulse can be exploited to remove these distortions completely by linear pulse shaping before amplification.
