Sensitivity of alignment is one of the major issues in the stretcher-compressor devices used for chirped pulse amplification. In this paper the authors discuss the temporal aberrations induced by the different kinds of misalignments of the gratings and they emphasize the importance of spatially transverse effects. They discuss simple criteria for minimizing these faults. Finally, they introduce the basic principles of self-compensation and present such a set-up based on symmetry considerations.
