Abstract
The cross-correlation function between two light fields is recorded wi th the help of a new device. The proposed correlator exhibits ultrasho rt time resolution. The optical path difference between the two interf ering beams does not have to be known with interferometric precision. The experimental dynamic range proved to be as large as 10(5). The dev ice features imaging capabilities that could be applied to the analysi s of two-dimensional images with ultrashort time resolution.
