    Abstract

    In a stretcher,it is important of spectral clipping. It has a direct impact on the quality of the output pulse. Base on the ray-tracing,an analytical spectral clipping model is present in the ffner stretcher . When the stretcher parameters is determined, the location of the grating placed has a very important influence on the pulse spectral clipping. When the grating placed on the symmetric center about optical axis, the spectral distribution through stretcher will be asymmetric about center wavelength of the laser, that is to say,the spectral clipping will be asymmetric spectral clipping.Therefore,the output pulse contrast will be droped approximately one magnitude in the SGII ninth beam petawatt upgrade laser facility. In order to keeping the spectral symmetry distribution about center wavelength of the laser through the stretcher, the grating must be placed on the asymmetrical position about optical axis.
