Simple temporal pulse shaping using two Pockels cells.

Journal Article · · Proposed for publication in the Review of Scientific Instruments.
OSTI ID:951748

The authors have used two Pockels cells in series to achieve simple temporal pulse shaping. This technique has been used in the optical parametric chirp pulse amplification (OPCPA) system to optimize the temporal shape of the pump pulse, providing a low cost alternative to arbitrary waveform generators.
