Ultra-Broadband Front-End Project
October 10, 2011
The pulse stretcher for the ultra-broadband front-end project, partially visible in the lower left, uses two gratings and cylindrical Öffner mirrors to stretch 200-nm pulses to 750 ps before they are amplified. Shown are Matt Millecchia and Jake Bromage positioning the stretcher optics using the Faro arm before fine alignment.
