摘要
Characterization and compensation of the complex spectral phase and the temporal profile of output pulses from a photonic crystal fiber (620-945-nm spectral broadening) were performed using a computer-controlled feedback system that combines a modified spectral-phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction apparatus and only a 4-f chirp compensator having a spatial light modulator. These pulses were adaptively compressed from 12-fs input pulses to 6.8-fs. In addition, the compressed pulse profile showed excellent agreement with results measured independently with fringe-resolved auto-correlation.
