Abstract
It is demonstrated that picosecond laser pulses can be characterized with t he help of a bandwidth-limited time-resolved spectrum (BTS). Using a subtra ctive double monochromator in combination with a fast streak camera the tim e dependences of the spectral components are measured under bandwidth-limit ed conditions. From the experimental data the amplitude and phase of the op tical field can be reconstructed by applying a simple phase retrieval algor ithm. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
