Group dispersion effects in picosecond spectroscopy

Abstract Pulse-dispersion effects are shown to be an important consideration in picosecond spectroscopy. Frequency-dispersion is re-emphasized, since it accounts for certain recent misinterpretations in the literature. Transverse dispersion is shown to have advantages in the production of high-intensity, controllable-duration pulses.
