Modulational instability characteristics for few cycle pulse propagation in cascaded-quadratic-cubic-quintic nonlinear media
Using phase amplitude ansatz method and standard linear stability analysis, we have investigated modulational instability (MI) for the ultrashort pulse propagation in cascaded quadratic-cubic-quintic…
Ultrafast temporal pulse shaping via phase-sensitive three-wave mixing.
TLDR
It is found that the use of phase-sensitive OPA shows a potential for significant compression of approximately 100 fs pulses, steepening of the rise time of ultrashort pulses, and production of pulse doublets and pulse trains.
