Frequency-resolved optical gating and single-shot spectral measurements reveal fine structure in microstructure-fiber continuum.

چکیده
Cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating with an angle-dithered nonlinear-optical crystal permits measurement of the intensity and the phase of the ultrabroadband (as much as 1200 nm wide) continuum generated from microstructure optical fiber. Retrieval revealed fine-scale structure in the continuum spectrum. Simulations and single-shot spectrum measurements confirmed that the fine structure does exist on a single-shot basis but washes out when many shots are averaged.

Toward single-shot measurement of a broadband ultrafast continuum
We discuss the problem of measuring the intensity and phase of a broadband continuum in a single shot, considering three possible methods, and perform preliminary measurements using one of them. Our measurements use transient-grating cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (TG XFROG) with a thirdorder nonlinear medium, which currently can phase match over 300 nm simultaneously. We d...
متن کاملCross-correlation frequency resolved optical gating analysis of broadband continuum generation in photonic crystal fiber: simulations and experiments.
Numerical simulations are used to study the temporal and spectral characteristics of broadband supercontinua generated in photonic crystal fiber. In particular, the simulations are used to follow the evolution with propagation distance of the temporal intensity, the spectrum, and the cross-correlation frequency resolved optical gating (XFROG) trace. The simulations allow several important physi...

102 NATURE PHOTONICS | VOL 7 | FEBRUARY 2013 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics The real-time measurement of fast non-repetitive events is arguably the most challenging problem in the field of instrumentation and measurement1–4. These instruments are needed for investigating rapid transient phenomena such as chemical reactions, phase transitions, protein dynamics in living cells and impairments i...
متن کاملSingle-frame measurement of complex laser pulses tens of picoseconds long using pulse-front tilt in cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating
We demonstrate the use of pulse-front tilt (PFT) in cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) implemented in polarization-gate geometry to measure arbitrary complex ultrashort pulses tens of picoseconds long on a single-camera frame with the potential for a single-shot measurement. The PFT is generated by a diffraction grating. We measured chirped double pulses separated by 4....
متن کاملSingle-frame measurement of the complete spatiotemporal intensity and phase of ultrashort laser pulses using wavelength-multiplexed digital holography
We show that a simple (few-element) arrangement for wavelength-multiplexed digital holography allows the measurement of the electric field E x ,y , t of a femtosecond laser pulse on a single shot. A slightly rotated twodimensional diffractive optical element and a variable-wavelength filter together generate multiple spectrally resolved digital holograms that are simultaneously captured in a si...
