SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPRESSING SHORT OR ULTRA-SHORT LIGHT PULSES, AND ASSOCIATED LIGHT-PULSED LASER SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a system for compressing short or ultra-short light pulses emitted by a light source. The compression system includes:—a first non-linear light pulse compression module including a multi-pass cell, the multi-pass cell including a first non-linear optical medium; and—a second non-linear light pulse compression module including a capillary filled with a gaseous second non-linear optical medium, and a compressor arranged at the output of the capillary, the first non-linear compression module and the second non-linear compression module being arranged in series on the path of a source light beam of source light pulses. Also disclosed is a light-pulses laser system and to a method for compressing short or ultra-short light pulses.
