        Manipulation of short pulses 

        Okoye, Raphael (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
        ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An ultra-fast laser pulse can be described in the time or frequency domain. If the timebandwidth product of an ultra-fast pulse is not satisfied, then the pulse is stretched. Stretching can be described ...
