Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have demonstrated generation of a temporally reversed femtosecond pulse inside chirped pulse system. Frequency chirping in an input pulse due to unknown group velocity dispersion is converted to opposite frequency chirping by this scheme. This opposite chirped pulse, a frequency domain phase conjugation pulse, reconstructs the initial phase structure after propagating through the same dispersion medium. We can automatically compensate phase distortion of an ultrashort and/or ultrabroadband light pulse.
