Abstract
We demonstrate time development of the diffraction of light waves from objects for what is to our knowledge the first time by using a new fe mtosecond correlation interferometry. This new dynamical optics method allows for the conversion of temporal information to space informatio n with femtosecond resolution and has the potential to produce a time- resolved femtosecond movie for the visualization of light-wave propaga tion in space for scientific, biological, and medical applications.
