  • System and method for shaping pulses of optical radiation
    Patent number: 4145607
    Abstract: A system for shaping pulses of optical radiation includes a birefringent element for receiving a polarized pulse from a source of optical radiation and projecting the pulse into two orthogonally polarized beams. The birefringent element is designed to introduce a phase shift between the two beams during transmission therethrough, such that when the two beams are recombined at the output of the birefringent element, the shape of the pulse is modified with respect to the input pulse.
