Abstract

- Nonlinear pulse post-compression, mainly enabled by self-phase modulation (SPM), opens new avenues towards high peak power laser pulses at high average power while bypassing the need for a gain medium with large bandwidth. However, SPM-induced spectral broadening typically introduces spectral amplitude modulations as well as a chirp of third and higher orders, limiting the temporal contrast of the compressed pulse. While some recent works address this issue and discuss mitigation strategies [1] , [2] , not much attention has been devoted to the physical processes and limitations that determine the temporal contrast of post-compressed pulses. As novel compression techniques expand the achievable compression ratio [3] , it is increasingly important to fully understand the underlying pulse quality limitations. Here, we outline the role of two important characteristics - dispersion and compression ratio - on the temporal quality of post-compressed pulses. Using both numerical simulations as well as experimental tests employing a gas-filled multi-pass cell (MPC), we study the temporal contrast of post-compressed pulses over large compression-ratio and dispersion range. Using a 730 fs input pulse we were able to generate a 55 fs post-compressed pulse with up to 78% energy contained in the main compressed pulse (defined via the first local minima near the highest peak) against its picosecond background.
