Sub-10 fs pulse characterization using spatially encoded arrangement for spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction
Optics Letters 31 (2006) 12
Abstract:
We demonstrate an extremely accurate method for measuring ultrabroadband,sub-10 fs pulses even if they exhibit a highly modulated spectrum,space-time coupling, or both. The method uses a spatially encoded arrangement for spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction, which allows a zero additional phase measurement to be performed with a relatively low signal-to-noise ratio in real time and single shot.

Simplified spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction by using a thick nonlinear crystal.
Opt Lett 31:7 (2006) 1008-1010
Abstract:
We propose and demonstrate a novel implementation of spectral-shearing interferometry (SSI) for reconstructing the electric field of ultrashort pulses by utilizing asymmetric group velocity matching in a long nonlinear crystal. The proposed configuration eliminates the requirement for a linearly chirped auxiliary pulse that is in common in all existing SSI methods, relying on nonlinear conversion to produce a spectral shear.Analysis of some intuitive approaches to the coherent control of state-selected ultracold molecules
