Temporal contrast enhancement of energeticlaser pulses by filtered self-phase-modulation broadened spectra
We present a novel approach for temporal contrast enhancement of energetic laserpulses by filtered SPM broadened spectra. A measured temporal contrast enhancement by at least 7 orders of magnitude in a simple setup has been achieved. This technique is applicable to a wide range of laser parameters and poses a highly efficient alternative to existing contrast-enhancement methods.
