Chirped volume Bragg grating (CVBG) is a reflecting volume Bragg grating with a period that
gradually varies along the beam propagation direction.
Depending on the incident direction, CVBG can work as a pulse stretcher or compressor. CVBG is mainly designed for the stretching compression of femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses in chirped pulse amplification (CPA)
system. Compared with the traditional pulse stretcher and compressor, CVBG has many
advantages such as high laser-induced damage threshold, large dispersion, and compact geometry, which makes CVBG a good pulse stretcher/compressor solution for high-energy and
high average power ultra-short pulsed laser systems.
