Pulse Compression With Diffraction Gratings

Pulse compression is a useful technique that takes advantage of the relationship between pulse duration and spectral width of a pulse. This enables the amplification of laser pulses above the normal damage threshold limits imposed by the optical components in the laser system. Diffraction gratings, used in conjunction with chirped pulses, are the key to compressing or stretching a laser pulse (i.e., increasing or decreasing their peak power with little loss in energy).
