Dispersion compensation for femtosecond pulses using high‐index prisms

We have compensated the residual chirp of the pulses emerging from the thick output coupler of our femtosecond dye laser with a sequence of four high‐refraction index prisms. Using the same prisms, we show that it is possible to compensate the great amount of dispersion due to a femtosecond multistage amplifier leading to a compact and low‐loss compensation system.
