 Title: Pulse duration measurement before and after CVBG (as a strecher) 

I recorded the pulse shape of the MENHIR 216MHz in its fiber injection setup.
the fiber is then connected to the Labbuddy photodiode (~ 15GHz BW) and then to the R&S RTO2000 4GHz scope (~ 100ps rise time).

1) I put a mirror just before the CVBG.
I'm able to get >8mW in the fiber.

as the pulses coming from the laser are not streched, they should be close to Menhir pulse width (~ 200fs).
then, what I measure here is only the pulse response of the measurement system.

2) I remove the mirror before the CVBG to stretch the pulse inside the CVBG
I'm able to get >6mW in the fiber.

the 1st plot is the comparison of the 2 measurements:
in blue, the pulse measurement w/o the CVBG
in red, the pulse measurement with the CVBG

the 2nd plot is the comparison of the pulse streched by the CVBG with the pulse w/o CVBG convoluted with a tp=77.4ps sech² pulse (sech²(t/tp)).
in red, the pulse measurement with the CVBG
in dashed black, the convolution.
(as the spectrum is changed by the CVBG, it is normal that both pulse shapes are not exactly the same).
tp=77.4ps corresponds to t_FWHM = 1.76*77.4ps = 136 ps

both pulses exhibit a FWHM duration of 194 ps.

with the present spectrum after CVBG (see 3rd plot), if the pulse was Fourier Transform limited (no stretched), the product of the FWHM (BW x duration) should be 0.315 (for sech² pulses).
FWHM BW wavelength ~ 1.1nm => FWHM BW ~ 311GHz => FWHM Tau ~ 0.315/311GHz ~ 1 ps
with 136 ps of FWHM duration, one can consider the CVBG has properly streched the pulse.
