Method of Ultrashort Optical Pulse Measurement.

Sensitive ultrashort pulse chirp measurement.

The chirp of an ultrashort laser pulse can be extracted with high accuracy from a modified spectrum auto-interferometric correlation waveform by using a new time domain algorithm that allows signal averaging. We display results revealing high sensitivity to chirp even with signal-to-noise levels approaching unity. Correction algorithms have been developed to accommodate signal distortion arisin...

Measurement of Ultrashort Optical Pulses

Modeling of Nonlinear Ultrashort Optical Pulse Propagation

I present a numerical package, written in MATLAB, which provides a simplified scripting interface for simulating a host of ultrashort pulse propagation phenomena. With the proliferation of ultrashort laser technologies, the demand for efficient and accurate simulations has grown significantly. Here I introduce a linear-operator-based formalism for nonlinear pulse propagation beyond the slowly-v...

Highly simplified device for ultrashort-pulse measurement.

We show that a frequency-resolved optical gating device using (1) a thick nonlinear crystal to replace the usual thin crystal and spectrometer and (2) a Fresnel biprism to replace the beam splitter and delay line yields a remarkably simple single-shot ultrashort-pulse intensity-and-phase measurement device with no sensitive alignment parameters and significantly greater sensitivity.

Ultrashort Optical Pulse Measurements by Inteferometric Spectrogram

We experimentally demonstrate that an interferometric spectrogram of the signal pulse can be processed differently to obtain the spectral amplitude and(or) phase profile(s). Consistency between the results obtained by frequencyresolved optical gating (FROG) and modified interferometric field autocorrelation (MIFA) methods is confirmed. We also show that the robustness of MIFA technique against ...
