Abstract: Pump-induced probe beam deflection in an off-axis geometry is used to achieve simultaneous shaping and shortening of probe pulses. The first and the second harmonic of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser served as a pump and probe wave respectively. Each pulse generated (super- Gaussian, sequences of two and three pulses) was of a reduced duration as compared to that of the incoming probe pulse.!5
