Femtosecond pulse shaping can be done by different kinds of pulse shapers, such as liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC SLM), acousto optic modulators (AOM) and deformable and movable mirrors. A few applications where pulse shaping is implemented are coherent control of molecules, communication systems, encoding and decoding and biomedical imaging.
