| Resumo | |
Spatial light modulators (SLMs) have become a valuable tool to shape ultrashort laser pulses, which have found innumerous applications in different areas of ultrafast science. Despite the fact that this family of devices can be used to produce almost any arbitrary pulse shape, as long as enough bandwidth is available, there are limitations related to their discrete nature that may lead to distortions in the expected pulse shape. Here we investigate such collateral temporal distortions by quantifying the effect imposed by the discrete nature (pixelation) of liquid-crystal-based SLMs on the two-photon excited fluorescence signal of a conjugated polymer, when the central position of a quadratic spectral phase mask is scanned across the laser bandwidth. We conclude that the observed temporal distortions are related to replica pulses generated by an interplay between the additional linear phase resultant of an off-centered quadratic phase mask and pixelation of the applied phase mask.
