Abstract :
The theory of the diffraction grating pair is developed by expanding the frequency dependence of the phase shift as far as the quadratic frequency term. The analogy between pulse compression and Fresnel diffraction is treated. The effect of the cubic phase term is discussed for ultrashort pulses having appreciable fractional bandwidth.
