Abstract

An adaptive phase modulator system broadly comprises a chirped-pulse amplifier (CPA) laser, an optical fiber, an adaptive phase modulator, a phase measurement element, and a control element. The CPA laser provides laser pulses that are coupled into the optical fiber for spectral broadening. The pulses from the optical fiber are compressed by the adaptive phase modulator. The phase measurement element receives a portion of the energy of the laser pulses from the adaptive phase modulator and sends phase information about the laser pulses to the control element. The control element sends a control signal to the CPA laser to stabilize the carrier envelope phase and a control signal to the adaptive phase modulator to control the spectral phase.
