70 GHz arbitrary modulation of chirped laser pulses by means of acousto-optics

Opt Lett. 2016 Dec 1;41(23):5442-5445. doi: 10.1364/OL.41.005442.

Abstract

We report the arbitrary modulation of chirped ultrashort laser pulses with a 70 GHz bandwidth. In the proof-of-principle experiment, modulation of Ti:sapphire laser emission was performed by the acousto-optic dispersive delay line, and the temporal pulse shape was measured with a picosecond streak camera.
