Abstract
Optical autocorrelation of ultrashort pulses using two photon absorpti on (TPA) in commercial semiconductor devices provides a convenient, se nsitive, and inexpensive alternative to standard techniques using nonl inear crystals. A summary of readily available commercial devices suit able for TPA autocorrelation of picosecond and femtosecond pulses in t he near-IR from 0.7-3 mu m is presented.
