F. Giammanco et al., PICOSECOND LASER-PULSE CORRELATION BY USING A MOLECULAR DYE, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 18(4), 1996, pp. 429-433
We present a new, simple and cost effective scheme for the measure of
the second-order correlation function of Nd-YAG laser second-harmonic
(532 nm) pulses. We measure the transmission of a probe beam in a cell
containing 6G-Rhodamine solution bleached by a counterpropagating pum
p beam. Under a convenient choice of experimental parameters, we can m
easure also the contribution of third-order correlation function.
