Generation of chirp-free picosecond pulses

Zinth, Wolfgang and Laubereau, Alfred and Kaiser, Wolfgang (1977): Generation of chirp-free picosecond pulses. In: optics communications, No. 22: pp. 161-164

Abstract

The frequency spectrum of moderately chirped laser pulses depends upon the portion of the beam which is accepted by the spectrometer. Observation of the development of the chirp in a mode-locked pulse train allows to determine the small incipient chirp of early pulses. A product, bandwidth times pulse duration, of 0.47 ± 0.03 is consistently observed for single pulses switched from a passively mode-locked Nd-glass system.
