Abstract
A device for processing an input light beam comprising at least one optical pulse having an original duration, forms the input light beam into a predetermined shape. The device comprises an optical input; a stretching device, with a view to temporally elongating the duration of the optical pulse and thus transmitting a temporally stretched radiation; a compressing device, with a view to at least partially restoring the original duration of the optical pulse; and an optical output. The processing device also comprises a shaping device comprising at least one multi-plane converter placed upstream of the compressing device, which is configured to process the temporally stretched radiation with a view to forming the output beam into the predetermined shape.
