Abstract
Temporal shaping of picosecond duration pulses is challenging due to limitations of direct shaping with electro-optical technologies or spectral shaping because of limited spectral content. We present an experimental implementation of a non-collinear sum frequency generation scheme wherein picosecond duration pulses with tailored temporal profiles are derived from femtosecond pulses with modified spectral phase. We demonstrate temporally shaped pulses with >20 ps duration, flat-top profile, and near transform-limited spectral content while maintaining upwards of 40% conversion efficiency. Additionally, we provide a framework for extending this technique to arbitrary temporal profiles and wavelengths.
