Abstract
A thick transmission grating diffracts only a very narrow spectral range (~∅.1 nm for 1-cm thick grating) from a polychromatic signal incident from a fixed direction. This effect can be used in multiple grating holograms to independently specify the amplitude and phase of the spectral components of diffracted signals. Such holograms allow us to achieve in a single optical element subpi со second pulse shaping results similar to those previously achieved by Fourier plane filtering in grating pulse compressors1.
