Abstract
Arbitrary temporal waveform control can be achieved by means of amplifier gain control with chirped laser pulse. We designed and manufactured a high-speed and high-voltage frequency modulator to get large chirping with flexibility. This modulator produced chirping of 76.5GHz within 0.7ns for 0.532μm laser. We have performed basic experiments and developed a simulation model for temporal waveform control of laser pulse using frequency chirping of 42GHz. Experimental results were compared with simulation results based on the Frantz-Nodvik theory. Experimental results showed good agreement with simulation results. It is indicated that desired temporal waveform can be shaped by frequency chirping.
