Abstract
Taking advantage of the nonlinear interaction between two counter-prop agating surface plasmons, we have devised a background-free autocorrel ator for short laser pulses diagnostics. Although it has been tested o nly to measure the coherence spike width of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, it can work in the near ir, visible and ultraviolet ranges as well.
