Temporal and Spatial Pulse Compression in a Nonlinear Defocusing Material

  • Conference paper
Ultrafast Phenomena XIV

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 79))

Abstract

We investigate the spatiotemporal characteristics of subpicosecond pulse propagation in the nonlinear defocusing regime below the band edge of bulk GaAs. We observe temporal and spatial pulse compression and instabilities.
