General compressor for ultrashort pulses with nonlinear chirp

A new type of grating compressor capable of compensating, in principle, for any arbitrary group-delay dispersion is described. The system relies on a specially designed grating with a variable groove spacing along its surface as well as a variable angle of incidence. In this manner each wavelength a...
