The disclosure relates generally to optical systems, and more particularly, optical systems for temporal compression or stretching of optical pulses.

Devices, systems, and methods for temporal compression or stretching of optical pulses

A reflective beam conditioner includes a monolithic body having two or more mirrors and at least one alignment feature. The at least one alignment feature has a predetermined orientation or position with respect to at least one of the two or more mirrors. The two or more mirrors are configured such that, in use, a beam reflects once sequentially off of each of the mirrors. A method of manufacturing such a reflective beam conditioner includes providing a monolithic body. The method further includes restraining the monolithic body to a machining fixture. The method further includes forming a first mirror, a second mirror, and an alignment feature in the monolithic body with the monolithic body restrained in the machining fixture.
