The spectral polarization of an ultrashort pulse is fully controlled by a novel pulse shaper
design, including three liquid-crystal spatial light modulator arrays at three different …

Shaping of the phase, amplitude, and polarization state of an ultrashort pulse is
demonstrated using a novel arrangement of a single, linear, high-resolution liquid crystal …

We present an analytical method for generating ultra-fast pulse sequences. In this approach,
the physically intuitive parameters of the sub-pulses—energy, position in time, relative …

We report computer-controlled femtosecond polarization pulse shaping where intensity,
momentary frequency, and light polarization are varied as functions of time. For the first time …

We report advances in the generation of ultrafast optical waveforms with programmable time-
dependent amplitude and temporal phase profiles. Two liquid-crystal spatial light …

We report the generation of shaped tunable ultrashort ultraviolet pulses with full control over
the spectral phase and amplitude. The output of a noncollinearly phase-matched optical …

A rigorous analysis of ultrashort pulse shaping by the spectral filtering of dispersed
frequency components is presented. Particular attention is directed toward the case of two …

The use of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator for the simultaneous spatial and temporal
shaping of ultrafast optical pulses is demonstrated. A commercially available liquid crystal …

We report programmable shaping of femtosecond optical pulses by use of a multielement
liquid-crystal modulator to manipulate the phases of spatially dispersed optical frequency …

The temporal profile of ultrashort optical pulses may be tailored by physically manipulating
the phase and the amplitude of frequency components that are spatially dispersed within a …
