Abstract
Recent invention of longitudinally chirped volume Bragg gratings has dramatically changed a design of high power femtosecond lasers. Replacing of bulky pairs of conventional surface gratings with compact and robust chirped volume Bragg gratings for stretching and compression of laser pulses in chirped-pulse-amplification systems enabled decrease of size and weight of those systems by several times. This patent application enables substantial increase of stretching time and compression to shorter pulses along with more complex shaping of laser pulses in both temporal and spectral domains.
