Abstract
We present a practical and accurate technique for retrieving the amplitude and the phase of ultrashort pulses from a nonlinear (second-order) intensit y cross correlation and the spectrum that overcomes shortcomings of previou s attempts. We apply the algorithm to theoretical and experimental data and compare it with frequency-resolved optical gating. (C) 1999 Optical Societ y of America.
