摘要：

We describe a method for compensating large amounts of second- and third-order material dispersion, and we present two simple, compact and robust stretcher-compressor systems for microjoule- and millijoule-level chirped-pulse amplification. These systems, which use dispersive material to stretch and a modified grating pair to compress the pulse, provide expansion and compression with full cubic-phase compensation. Unlike previous fiber-stretcher systems which were limited to picosecond pulse durations, these systems can be used effectively with 50-fs microjoule pulses or 100-fs millijoule pulses. The results of our model are described including the quartic-phase limitations for both systems. We discuss other applications of this grating pair to other areas of ultrafast optics, including intracavity dispersion compensation for femtosecond oscillators.
