Why is there not a pulse compression directly out of the laser?

Ultrafast systems are used for applications that vary from customer to customer, so the final negative dispersion compensation needed for each set up, and possibly for each experiment, is different. It is Laser Quantum’s view that the negative compensation needed for the final interaction in the end users experiment is what matters and the compensation should be done only once, as this gives the user the best possible result.
