Bs. Prade et al., A SIMPLE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE INTENSITY AND PHASE OF ULTRASHORT OPTICAL PULSES, Optics communications, 113(1-3), 1994, pp. 79-84
We describe a method for determining the phase and intensity of ultras
hort optical pulses in a single laser shot by analysis of the pulse sp
ectrum after passage through a nonlinear Kerr medium. A demonstration
is given using the output of a Ti:sapphire oscillator-amplifier chain.
