I am trying to simulate the effect on the waveform of pulse chirping a Gaussian pulse from a femtosecond laser by various mechanisms (e.g. prism, grating, grism, fiber optical cables).
I have tried producing my own simulations in Matlab without much success. Does anyone have any recommendations for free/open source software or Matlab toolboxes that would facilitate such a simulation?
Alternatively, if anyone can recommend any resources that give a thorough introductory discussion of the chirping used in pulsed chirp amplification, I would appreciate that.
