Abstract
The fifth harmonic pulses of an intense femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser were experimentally shown to be negatively chirped by using an LiF plate as a positive dispersive medium. The chirp of the harmonic pulse originates from the intensity-dependent atomic dipole phase, which is estimated to be proportional to 25 Up, where Up is the ponderomotive energy. Consequently, we have succeeded in compressing the chirped pulses to 13 fs by compensating the intrinsic negative chirp. Chirp effects of the fundamental laser on the pulse width of the fifth harmonic were consistent with the negative chirp of the fifth harmonic.
