A two-grating stretcher is a dispersion delay line that is widely used in chirped pulse amplification for ultrafast laser pulses. If the stretcher consists of two reflecting diffraction gratings with a perfectly reflective optical system between them, its dispersion can be calculated by using the concept of a „„zero-distance pulse front.” We introduce the concept of a „„zero-distance pulse front” of the real optical system, which characterizes its aberrations. The similarity of these zero-distance pulse fronts allows us to study the influence of aberrations in an optical system on the dispersion of a stretcher.
