Title	Design considerations for dispersion control with a compact bonded grism stretcher for broadband pulse amplification
Contributors	H Kiriyama, H Sasao, A Sugiyama, K Ertel (STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab.)
Abstract	We report on the design of a compact grism-pair stretcher for a near-infrared noncollinear optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA)system. The grisms are produced by bonding a grating to a prism using a resin. The stretcher is capable of controlling a bandwidth of over 300?nm, which is suitable for parametric amplification of few-cycle pulses. After amplification, pulses can be compressed by the dispersion of optical glass, and the residual group-delay can be compensated with an acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter (AOPDF).
