摘要
The generation of cubicon pulses from an Yb fiber chirped pulse amplification system at pulse energies up to 200 mu J is demonstrated. After pulse compression 650 fs pulses with a pulse energy of 100 mu J are obtained, where pulse compression relies on the compensation of third-order dispersion mismatch between the stretcher and compressor via self-phase modulation of the cubicon pulses in the fiber amplifier. Values of self-phase modulation well in excess of p can be tolerated for cubicon pulses, allowing for the nonlinear compensation of very large levels of dispersion mismatch between pulse stretcher and compressor.
