title: Optical pulse shaping with a grating pair.
abstract: A passive pulse-shaping system capable of producing optical pulses of arbitrary temporal profile on the subnansecond time scale is described and analyzed. The system uses a pair of gratings in a delay line and various filtering operations. An experimental investigation of the system is described, and several results are included.
