The compression of high-energy femtosecond light pulses is investigated theoretically. The influence of an intensity variation across the beam cross-section and of changing the beam diameter along the path through a nonlinear medium are considered. The application of bulk media for the pulse shaping as well as the limits to this kind of compression are discussed.
