Universal grating design for pulse stretching and compression in the 800{endash}1100-nm range
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, P.O. Box 808, L-493, Livermore, California 94550 (United States)
We have developed a holographically produced master metallic grating that achieves {approx_gt}91{percent} diffraction efficiency over the wavelength range 800{endash}1100 nm and a maximum diffraction efficiency at 1053 nm greater than 93{percent} when used with TM polarization near the Littrow angle. The near-uniform diffraction efficiency with laser wavelength makes this design attractive for use in chirped-pulse amplification systems employing Ti:sapphire, Cr:LiSAF, or Nd:glass and permits high-fidelity stretching and compression of extremely short (10-fs) pulses. {copyright} {ital 1996 Optical Society of America.}
