Abstract

In this work, the authors have introduced a method for picosecond pulse envelope shaping that is based on pulse temporal profile transformations during cascade second harmonic (SH) generation. In a SH generation process the temporal profile of the fundamental harmonic (FH) pulse undergoes significant changes that are governed by the input pulse profile and frequency conversion efficiency.
