    We compressed laser pulses using a fiber-prism compressor, achieving 85% throughput and pulses as short as 50 femtoseconds (fsec). This method offers high compression ratios for ultrafast optics applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Physics
    • Ultrafast Science

    Background:

    • Synchronously pumped cavity-dumped dye lasers are crucial for generating ultrashort optical pulses.
    • Efficient pulse compression techniques are essential for enhancing the temporal resolution and peak power of these laser systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effectiveness of a fiber-prism pulse compressor for ultrashort pulse compression.
    • To evaluate the performance metrics including throughput, compression ratio, and minimum achievable pulse duration.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a synchronously pumped cavity-dumped dye laser system.
    • Employed a fiber-prism pulse compressor consisting of two dense flint glass prisms.
    • Operated the prisms at a grazing exit angle to maximize dispersive power.
