Abstract
The self-diffraction technique has been applied to measure subpicoseco nd pulsewidth using Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals as nonlinear mat erials. The experimental data agree with the ones obtained by conventi onal autocorrelation technique thus pointing out the advantages of che ap and handy PDLC over commonly used high optical quality nonlinear cr ystals.
