Abstract
Recent invention of longitudinally chirped volume Bragg gratings has dramatically changed a design of high power femtosecond lasers. Replacing of bulky pairs of conventional surface gratings with compact and robust chirped volume Bragg gratings for stretching and compression of laser pulses in chirped-pulse-amplification systems enabled decrease of size and weight of those systems by several times. The methods and devices enable substantial increase of stretching time and compression to shorter pulses, enhancement of stretched and compressed beams quality by stationary or dynamic shaping of gratings, and shaping of laser pulses in both temporal and spectral domains.
