Ap. Kovacs et al., GROUP-DELAY MEASUREMENT ON LASER MIRRORS BY SPECTRALLY RESOLVED WHITE-LIGHT INTERFEROMETRY, Optics letters, 20(7), 1995, pp. 788-790
The frequency-dependent group delay of dielectric mirrors was measured
by spectrally resolved white-light interferometry. Chirped mirrors an
d thin-film Gires-Tournois interferometers designed for dispersion con
trol in a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser oscillator-amplifier system we
re tested with a group-delay resolution of +/-0.2 fs and a spectral re
solution of similar to 1 nm over the spectral range of 670-870 nm.
