Abstract

A matrix formalism for grating and prism compressors is introduced. It is an extension of the standard ABCD matrix formalism for Gaussian optics, but includes the possibility of considering dispersive elements such as gratings and prisms. The full formation on the frequency-dependent phase shift is obtained to compute the time delay dispersion. The formalism simplifies the design of compressors with focusing optics. Information on beam divergence and astigmatism is also acquired. >
