Automated spatiotemporal diffraction of ultrashort laser pulses

Abstract

We exploit the close similarities between time–frequency and position–wave-vector correspondences to control the spatiotemporal diffraction pattern of ultrashort laser pulses. This approach permits novel, automated generation of sophisticated two-dimensional femtosecond waveforms. A two-dimensional space–time version of a Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm is used to iteratively determine the phase pattern in position-frequency space that produces a user-defined intensity profile in wave-vector–time space.
