First Claim
Patent Images
1. A pulse compressor comprising:
- a transmission medium effective to;
receive an input pulse;
produce an unchirped portion of the input pulse; and
produce a chirped portion of the input pulse;
a spatial filter in operational relationship with the transmission medium, the spatial filter being effective to receive the chirped portion and unchirped portion and filter out the unchirped portion;
a collimator in operational relationship with the spatial filter, the collimator being effective to receive and collimate the chirped portion to produce a collimated pulse; and
a compressing device in operational relationship with the transmission medium, the spatial filter, and the collimator, the compressing device being effective to receive and compress the collimated pulse to produce an output pulse.

Abstract
Technologies are described for methods and systems effective to compress an input pulse to produce an output pulse. The methods may include receiving, by a pulse compressor, the input pulse. The methods may further include producing, by the pulse compressor, an unchirped portion of the input pulse. The methods may further include producing, by the pulse compressor, a chirped portion of the input pulse. The methods may further include filtering out, by the pulse compressor, the unchirped portion. The methods may further include compressing, by the pulse compressor, the chirped portion to produce the output pulse.
