Abstract

Yb:KYW laser pulses at 1030 nm were frequency-broadened and compressed by single-pass propagation in a 12 mm single-domain KTP crystal. The compression mechanism relies on refractive index modulation by the polariton shock-wave generated by impulse excitation of the lattice vibration modes, with a large dipole moment parallel to the crystal polar axis. Coherent Stokes sidebands generated by the index modulation lead to pulse compression under normal dispersion conditions. A compression ratio of about eight times was obtained for 170fs-long Yb:KYW laser pulses.
