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 …

We report the generation of Fourier-transform-limited, picosecond optical square pulses
(with a duration of~ 6 psec full width at half-maximum and a rise time of~ 1 psec). Control of …

We review our work on the synthesis of arbitrarily shaped, coherent optical pulses, by spatial
filtering in a grating pulse compressor. We describe picosecond pulses shaped using a fiber …

The synthesis of arbitrarily shaped femtosecond pulses by spectral filtering in a temporally
nondispersive grating apparatus is demonstrated. Spectral filtering is accomplished by …

This paper analyzes the synthesis of arbitrarily shaped optical pulses by spectral filtering in
a fiber-and-grating pulse compressor. Spectral filtering of phase and amplitude is achieved …

We investigate the propagation of 20 fs pulses through a generalized pulse
shaper/compressor and synthesize shaped waveforms with 20 fs features by linear spectral …

A passive pulse-shaping system capable of producing optical pulses of arbitrary temporal
profile on the subnansecond time scale is described and analyzed. The system uses a pair …

We demonstrate femtosecond operation of a direct space-to-time pulse shaper in which
there is direct mapping (no Fourier transform) between the spatial position of the masking …

We review the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, in which Fourier synthesis methods are
used to generate nearly arbitrarily shaped ultrafast optical wave forms according to user …
