Design of a holographic optical element for a pulse compressor.
Nonlinear chirped pulse compression can be theoretically achieved to any order by using a nonplane grating with adequate groove spacing. We evaluate the holographic recording of a grating that compensates to the quadratic chirp. A suitable design is found, and the building tolerances are analyzed.
