Abstract :
We report precise characterization and compensation of high-order phase distortions of a supercontinuum generated by ultrafast fiber lasers. By using multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan (MIIPS) technique, the pulses are compressed to 12.8 fs (within 0.1% of the transform-limited value) automatically in less than thirty seconds.
