Spatial and temporal pulse propagation for dispersive paraxial optical systems
- SLAC National Accelerator Lab., Menlo Park, CA (United States)
The formalism for pulse propagation through dispersive paraxial optical systems first presented by Kostenbauder (IEEE J. Quant. Elec. 261148–1157 (1990)) using 4 × 4 ray-pulse matrices is extended to 6 × 6 matrices and includes non-separable spatial-temporal couplings in both transverse dimensions as well as temporal dispersive effects up to a quadratic phase. The eikonal in a modified Huygens integral in the Fresnell approximation is derived and can be used to propagate pulses through complicated dispersive optical systems within the paraxial approximation. Additionally, a simple formula for the propagation of ultrashort pulses having a Gaussian profile both spatially and temporally is presented.
