Few-cycle fiber pulse compression and evolution of negative resonant radiation [PDF]
We present experimental observations of the spectral expansion of fs-pulses compressing in optical fibers. Using the input pulse frequency chirp we are able to scan through the pulse compression spectra and observe in detail the emergence of negative ...

Microwave pulse compression using a helically corrugated waveguide [PDF]
There has been a drive in recent years to produce ultrahigh power short microwave pulses for a range of applications. These high-power pulses can be produced by microwave pulse compression.

Generation, amplification, and nonlinear self-compression of powerful superradiance pulses [PDF]
Superradiance (SR) of electron bunches can be considered an effective method of production of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses. Different types of SR associated with different mechanisms (cyclotron, Cherenkov, and bremsstrahlung) of stimulated emission ...

Chirped pulse Raman amplification in plasma [PDF]
Raman amplification in plasma has been proposed to be a promising method of amplifying short radiation pulses. Here, we investigate chirped pulse Raman amplification (CPRA) where the pump pulse is chirped and leads to spatiotemporal distributed gain ...

Designing dispersion- and mode-area-decreasing holey fibers for soliton compression [PDF]
We investigate numerically the adiabatic compression of solitons at 1.55 µm in holey fibers which exhibit simultaneously decreasing dispersion and effective mode area.

Wavelength and duration tunable 10 GHz 1.3ps pulse source using dispersion decreasing fiber based distributed Raman amplification [PDF]
We experimentally demonstrate a novel pulse compression scheme using dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF) based distributed Raman amplification. We adiabatically compress 10GHz, 13ps seed pulses generated using a commercially available electro-absorption ...

Optimised design of fibre-based pulse compressor for gain-switched DFB laser pulses at 1.5 µm [PDF]
An optical-fibre based pulse compressor for gain-switched DFB laser pulses has been optimised using a systematic procedure based on the initial complete characterisation of the laser pulses, followed by numerical simulations of the pulse propagation in ...

Compression of Few-Microjoule Femtosecond Pulses in a Hollow-Core Revolver Fiber
Gas-filled hollow-core fibers are a convenient tool for laser pulse compression down to a few-cycle duration. The development of compact, efficient and high quality compression schemes for laser pulses of relatively low μJ-level energies is of particular

80 W, up to 2 mJ Yb-based laser multi-pass-cell post-compression down to sub-20 fs: Experimental and numerical results [PDF]
In the last years, different methods of laser pulse post-compression have proven their efficiency. Nonlinear spectral broadening achieved when coupling an ultrafast pulse in a gas-filled multi-pass-cell (MPC) provides common pulse compression factors of ...
