Abstract :
A single-prism/corner-cube pulse compressor significantly simplifies alignment and tuning. Angle-tuning the prism wavelength-tunes and translating a corner cube varies group-delay dispersion, maintaining zero angular dispersion, zero pulse-front tilt, zero spatial chirp, and unity magnification.
