The analytical solution of a wave equation that describes the propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in a dispersion‐free finite‐length spatially chirped medium with 1D periodic inhomogeneity is presented. Such media are important to modern optics and are found in holograms, lasers, Bragg reflectors, compressors, and other applications. FDTD numerical modeling confirms the validity of our analytic results. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
