| | | | | | | | Managing the ultrashort pulse durations of ultrafast lasers can be a daunting task, especially if you are unfamiliar with their unique temporal characteristics. Understanding group delay dispersion (GDD) can reduce the difficulties and uncertainties of maintaining an ultrafast pulse duration to maximize your laser’s performance. |
