Abstract We demonstrated a nonlinear temporal filter based on the self-diffraction (SD) process. Temporal contrast enhancement, angular dispersion and spectrum broadening properties of the SD process are investigated in experiment and simulation. Driven by spectral phase well compensated laser pulses with bandwidth of 28 nm, the filter produced clean pulses with a temporal contrast higher than $10^{10}$ and excellent spatial profile, the spectrum of which was smoothed and broadened to 64 nm. After implementing this filter into a home-made 30 TW Ti:sapphire amplifier, temporal contrast of the amplified pulses was enhanced to $10^{10}$ within the time scale of $-400$ ps.
