Pulse front distortions in focused spatially chirped beams
Abstract
A numerical analysis of spatially chirped beams produced by single-pass grating pairs is presented. It is shown that focused pulse structures can deviate significantly relative to standard linear spatial chirp approximations depending upon the pulse bandwidth, the angle of incidence, and groove density of the gratings used.
