Abstract
A device for extending the duration of a light pulse by a factor of an integer or by a factor which differs from an integer. The light pulse is passed through a device which divides the initial beam into a number of parts, where the first part passes unhindered while the subsequent parts of the beam are retarded and pass through the system after various delay periods, resulting in the desired extension of the pulse duration. The basic components of the novel device are spherical mirrors facing each other, a special reflector and a translation plate.
