title: Experimental demonstration of selective compression of femtosecond pulses in the Laue scheme of the dynamical Bragg diffraction in 1D photonic crystals.
abstract: We present the experimental results of diffraction-induced temporal splitting of chirped femtosecond optical pulses under the dynamical Bragg diffraction in the Laue geometry. For the experiments we made a transparent, high quality porous-quartz based 1D photonic crystal composed of 500 layers. We demonstrate that a selective compression of pulses is observed in this case, that is only one pulse from the pair is compressed, while the second one is broadened. This selective compression effect is determined by the sign and the value of the chirp parameter of the input pulse, in agreement with the theoretical description.
