title: Compression of optical pulses to six femtoseconds by using cubic phase compensation.
abstract: We demonstrate that a combination of prisms and diffraction gratings can provide not only quadratic but also cubic phase compensation of ultrashort optical pulses. We obtain compressed pulses as short as 6 fsec.
