Abstract :
Self phase modulation in hollow waveguide filled with noble gases have been successfully used to produce ultra-broad bandwidths. The intense spectral phase distortions produced by self phase modulation have previously been compensated by prism pairs and adaptive pulse shaping. Here we demonstrate the generation of 4.8 fs, 200 muJ intense laser pulses by multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan (MIIPS).
