  • Abstract
    Here we present pulse self-compression in a 7 cm hollow core capillary with a reduction in pulse length from 53 fs to 16 fs shown in figure 1. The efficiency of this process (37%) is greater than that of filamentation, whilst maintaining the benefits of pulse self-compression, removing the need for post-capillary compression.
