Nonlinear filtering and beam shaping with χ (3) nonlinear polarization interferometer

Novel χ (3)-based nonlinear polarization interferometer is theoretically and experimentally investigated. It enables efficient spatial and temporal filtering of femtosecond pulses via generation of cross-polarized wave. By changing the interferometer parameters different beam shapes can be obtained....
