Spectral filtering of phase-modulated laser light; formation of tunable, spectrally limited, high-contrast light pulses
Dianov E. M., Ivanov L. M., Karasik A. Ya., Mamyshev P. V., Prokhorov A. M.
A nonlinear-optics method for controlling the length and frequency of laser pulses is proposed. An implementation is reported. This method can produce high-contrast, tunable, ultrashort light pulses, either single pulses or temporally synchronized pairs.
