Abstract

The peak power and temporal intensity contrast of powerful femtosecond laser pulses were enhanced simultaneously by broadening the pulse spectrum in transparent dielectrics due to self-phase modulation and subsequent reflection from chirping mirrors with a symmetrical dip in the reflection coefficient in the center of the broadened spectrum. This dip provides almost zero reflection of the pulse pedestal, only slightly distorting the pulse itself.
