How Much Can One Compress PHAROS Millijoule-Level Pulses?
Several pulse compression techniques, such as hollow-core fibers, multi-pass cells, and multi-plates have been successfully applied to compress the 1030 nm output of Light Conversion laser sources. Recently, researchers from National Tsing Hua University have implemented four-level cascaded focus and compression (CASCADE) to achieve a 50-fold compression of millijoule-level pulses from 157 to 3.1 femtoseconds. … Continue reading
