Which mechanism causes chromatic aberration when focusing a pulsed laser?

💡 Explanation

Group velocity dispersion causes chromatic aberration because different wavelengths travel at slightly different speeds in the focusing lens material; therefore the pulse broadens rather than maintaining its original temporal profile due to other nonlinear optical effects.
