Abstract
Femtosecond optical amplifiers typically have high nonlinear spectral dispersion breaking relationships of the spectral phases of femtosecond pulse. It is necessary to use some additional dispersive device for controlling of spectral amplitude and phases of amplified laser pulses. We discuss the investigation of light dispersive delay lines based on the light-sound interaction in crystals. The light dispersive delay lines geometry uses the effect of strong elastic, photoelastic and optic anisotropy in the TeO2 single crystal. Different experimental delay lines were designed and tested. The problem of femtosecond laser beam angular chirp compensation was solved also. The experiments were performed at the OPCPA femtosecond laser system.
