Correction of Fabry-Pérot interference effects in phase and amplitude pulse shapers based on liquid crystal spatial light modulators

Abstract

Broadband femtosecond laser pulses manipulated by pulse shapers based on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) inevitably experience periodic spectral distortions due to Fabry-Perot interference effects within the LC-SLM. We present a method, applicable to phase and amplitude pulse shapers based on dual LC-SLMs, that enables the calibration and suppression of the undesired spectral intensity modulations in a non-iterative fashion. We demonstrate that the method considerably improves the amplitude shaping fidelity of phase and amplitude pulse shapers without compromising the phase shaping properties.
