Abstract

We investigated the highly efficient, nonlinear ellipse rotation (NER) effect in bulk SrTiO3 crystal, which provides practical application as a pulse cleaner for ultrashort pulses. A highly stable, ultrafast NER effect was realized by using a bulk SrTiO3 crystal with a fast response time, strong optical Kerr effect, high damage threshold, and wide transmission wavelength range. Transmissivity higher than 30% was obtained at a level of several mJ, in which the temporal contrast can be enhanced by about three orders of magnitude. This provides a simple and feasible technology for improving the temporal contrast for the ultrahigh power laser system.
