T. Feurer et al., MEASURING THE TEMPORAL INTENSITY OF ULTRASHORT LASER-PULSES BY TRIPLECORRELATION, Applied physics. B, Lasers and optics, 66(2), 1998, pp. 163-168
By measuring the triple correlation of an ultrashort laser pulse, it i
s possible to determine the temporal envelope of the pulse intensity.
No assumptions on the analytic form of the pulse shape and no iterativ
e algorithms are necessary. The method is extremely stable even for no
isy data, and is a powerful tool for pulses that have a strong amplitu
de modulation. A multi-shot and a single-shot arrangement of the tripl
e correlator has been realized.
