Abstract

The synthesis of nearly arbitrary supercontinuum pulse forms is demonstrated with sub-pulse structures that maintain a temporal resolution in the few-cycle regime. Spectral broadening of the 35 fs input pulses to supercontinuum bandwidths is attained in a controlled two-stage sequential filamentation in air at atmospheric pressure, facilitating a homogeneous power density over the full spectral envelope in the visible to near infrared spectral range. Only standard optics and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) are employed for achieving pulse compression to the sub 5 fs regime with pulse energies of up to 60 μJ and a peak power of 12 GW. This constitutes the starting point for further pulse form synthesis via phase modulation within the sampling limit of the pulse shaper. Transient grating frequency-resolved optical gating (TG-FROG) allows for the characterization of pulse forms that extend over several hundred femtoseconds with few-cycle substructures.

The IR part of the spectrum was temporally shifted by a linear phase ramp with a slope of ±600 fs, respectively, in the spectral region above 724 nm. The rest of the spectrum was maintained at zero phase relative to the phase function employed for pulse compression. (C) and (D): FROG trace of a double pulse split at 700 nm (2.69 rad/fs) with a sub-pulse spacing of 400 fs. The spectrum below 700 nm was temporally shifted using a linear phase ramp with a slope of −400 fs. The explicit phase functions are given in Table 1.

(A) Total phase function for the pulse form shown in Panel C of Fig. 6 resulting from the phase correction employed for pulse compression similar to Panel D of Fig. 4 and a linear phase ramp with a slope of −400 fs above 2.69 rad/fs (700 nm). (B) Magnification of the phase function in the region around 3.05 rad/fs in a wrapped representation (black line). Points sampled by the LC-SLM (green points) with error bars indicating the approximate bandwidth transmitted through the corresponding pixels. An equivalent quadratic function (red line) is derived from the parameters of the sampling artifact for representing the linear phase ramp within the sampling limit of the LC-SLM. The original linear phase ramp and equivalent (within the sampling limit of the pulse shaper) quadratic phase function are summarized in Table 1. For details, see text.

Table 1 Summary of the transfer function of the LC-SLM used for pulse compression and shaping of the supercontinuum following the formalism summarized by Wollenhaupt et. al. in the Taylor expansion of the complex spectral phase function with the respective coefficients [29]. Unless specified, ω0 = 3.0 rad/fs and for 7(B) the equivalent quadratic phase function is given that is adjusted to the sampling points. For details see text.
