Item The theoretical model for realization of an all-fiber, polarization independent Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD) compensating module with transfer function given by Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is proposed and investigated. The proposed realization of the GVD compensating module comprises of Mach-Zender interferometers formed by single mode fiber optic directional couplers. The realization of GVD compensating modules using single mode fiber optic couplers as proposed in this paper is superior to an earlier realization of a similar GVD compensating module, which used bulk optic components such as TiO2 birefringent crystals, polarizers and ?/4 plates. © by Fachverlag Schiele & Schön 2005.(An all-fiber polarization independent GVD compensating module) Kumar, M.S.; Bhat, K.N.H.; Umesh, G.2005Item Self-compression of attosecond high-order harmonic pulses(2007) Kim, K.T.; Kang, K.S.; Park, M.N.; Imran, T.; Umesh, G.; Nam, C.H.Self-compression of attosecond high-order harmonic pulses in the harmonic generation medium itself has been demonstrated. The attosecond pulses were generated in an argon-filled gas cell and compressed by exploiting the dispersion characteristics of argon. Since the harmonic generation medium itself was used as the compression medium, continuous chirp control was easily achieved by adjusting the gas pressure. The optimized attosecond pulse was also the most intense, and its duration of 206 as was very close to the transform-limited value of 200 as. © 2007 The American Physical Society.
