A simple method for pulse contrast enhancement via self-focusing
Here we report on a simple-to-implement and cost-effective approach for laser pulse contrast enhancement, based on the ${\chi}^{(3)}$ nonlinear self-focusing effect. An intentionally induced and gently controlled self-focusing in a thin glass transforms the time-dependent intensity into varia...
