Thesis Abstract

Ultrafast pulse shaping using interferometry

In this work we propose a very flexible time domain MHz pulse shaping using Michelson Interferometer. Instead of conventional mirrors we fitted combination of retro reflectors which is mounted over the linear translational stage to generate the replica of the input pulses at different delay. High resolution delayed pulse pair were generated by controlling the delay between the pulses and between the pulse pair coming from the round trip. These low intensity feedback pulses can be the potential candidate for the STED microscopy and in other applications like bond selective chemistry, optical tweezers, optical imaging etc.
