Abstract
A field cross-correlator is utilised to determine the duration and coh erence time of a synchronously-pumped broadband picosecond dye laser. It is shown that recording the autocorrelation profile of the pulse tr ain delivered by the laser for different lengths of the train gives a sensitive measure of the degree of coherence between the successive la ser pulses.
