| Abstract: | Abstract A stimulated Brillouin scattering mirror has been used to ‘temporally tune’ from nanoseconds to subnanoseconds the width of laser pulses generated by a free running XeCl oscillator, equipped with a super-Gaussian reflectivity unstable resonator. Pulse shortening techniques by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and by truncated SBS have been investigated. A maximum pulse shortening of about fifty has been achieved by truncated SBS. |
