A novel approach is proposed for nonlinear spectral broadening and temporal pulse compression well below the gain-bandwidth limitation of the laser gain medium [1]. We install, in a gas-filled multi-pass cell, a potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal, which exhibits anomalous dispersion around the central wavelength (1030 nm) of the seed laser [2]. The resulting total dispersion is adjusted by changing the pressure of a normal dispersive gas filling the cell. Chirped mirrors become unnecessary, and pulse compression can be tuned by adjusting the number of passes. Shorter pulses and a broader spectrum will enhance high harmonic generation for an extreme ultraviolet frequency comb which will be employed for quantum logic spectroscopy of highly charged ions [3].
