Energy adjustment pulse shaping algorithm part II: realization of a spectral intensity design

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: An accurately controlled arbitrary temporal waveform is required for many applications. To realize accurate pulse shaping, many optimization algorithms have been proposed to design spectral phase modulation patterns. However, as far as the authors know, no intensity optimization algorithm has been proposed. Therefore, in this paper, an algorithm is proposed to design an optimal spectral intensity modulation pattern for shaping short laser pulses. Consequently, it is numerically demonstrated that the proposed algorithm provides suitable spectral intensity modulation patterns, which create more accurate shapes of temporal waveform than those of spectral phase-only modulation.
