Abstract
Two-photon photoconductivity in ZnSe is used to record femtosecond aut ocorrelation functions. This technique requires <100 mu W of average p ower of a typical mode-locked femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser and distin guishes itself by a dynamic range over several decades and great conve rsion bandwidth, permitting the sensitive correlation of pulses of a f ew femtoseconds.
