Spatially-evolving chirped-pulse amplification scheme for high-power excimer amplifiers

Abstract

It has been shown that a spatially varying negative chirp develops, accompanied by a tilted pulse front, when a pulse traverses a single dispersive element [1]. This is the result of the lateral displacement of the tilted pulse fronts of different spectral components as shown in Fig. la, for a positively chirped input pulse. In this case perfect pulse compression can be achieved at a certain plane, which can be imaged, preserving the compressed pulse duration in the plane of the image, and allowing a continuous change of the pulse front tilt through the variation of the magnification (see Fig. 1b).
