Use Case
Grating Stretcher for Ultrashort Pulses
We set up a pulse stretcher consisting of two diffractive gratings and investigate the pulse broadening effect induced by the interaction of the pulse with the gratings.
Use Case
Pulse Focusing with High-NA Lens
We investigate the effects of subjecting an ultrashort pulse to propagation through a lens with high numerical aperture, in terms of its spatial, as well as of its temporal, profile.
