Offered
in collaboration with Fastlite, the Dazzler Acousto-Optic Programmable
dispersive filter (AOPDF) is a temporal filter of arbitrary shape (amplitude
and phase) for ultrafast laser. It is used in the PULSAR series
of high energy ultrafast amplifier for programmable compensation of time
dispersion, as well as arbitrary pulse shaping.
The
device consists of a small matchbox-sized enclosure inserted in the PULSAR
amplifier. The control electronics is installed away from the experiment.
User-friendly software is pre-installed in a notebook computer, included
in the supply.
User
interface is controlled in the LabView environment. The required filter
spectrum is provided by the user, either as sample points or as a mathematical
function. Correction of the frequency response of the internal electronics
is automatically generated. Correction of the optical dispersion of the
acousto-optic crystal is either automatically or user controlled.
