Shaping a femtosecond pulse with a programmable thermo-optically driven phase modulator.
A femtosecond pulse shaping apparatus based on a thermo-optically driven spatial phase modulator is presented. The modulator cell is illuminated by a standard projector and is easily controllable with a computer. In principle the setup allows for two dimensional pulse shaping, however, all initial demonstrations reported here, such as feedback controlled dispersion compensation or pulse train generation, are performed in a one dimensional phase-only shaping geometry.
