Abstract
A low-loss pulse shaper, composed of a micro-machined deformable mirror and a Brewster-cutprism, is demonstrated for the adaptive compression of femtosecond laser pulses. The transmission efficiency of the pulse shaper reaches 93 % with dielectric mirrors and 85 % with gold-coated mirrors.
