چکیده
A new (to our knowledge) method for generating the modified spectrum autointerferometric correlation (MOSAIC) trace from the second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG FROG) dataset is shown. Examples are presented illustrating enhanced visual sensitivity, applicability, and complementary qualitative pulse characterization using SHG FROG.

Real-Time Measurement of Ultrashort Laser Pulses Using Principal Component Generalized Projections
Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) is a technique to measure ultrashort laser pulses that optically constructs a spectrogram of a laser pulse. A two-dimensional (2-D) phase retrieval algorithm is used to extract the intensity and phase of a pulse from its spectrogram. We have improved a recently presented principal component generalized projections algorithm (PCGPA) making it easier to im...
متن کاملFrequency-resolved optical gating with the use of second-harmonic generation
We discuss the use of second-harmonic generation (SHG) as the nonlinearity in the technique of frequencyresolved optical gating (FROG) for measuring the full intensity and phase evolution of an arbitrary ultrashort pulse. FROG that uses a third-order nonlinearity in the polarization-gate geometry has proved extremely successful, and the algorithm required for extraction of the intensity and the...
متن کاملSensitivity of SHG-FROG for the Characterisation of Ultrahigh-Repetition-Rate Telecommunication Laser Sources
We analyze experimentally the sensitivity of second-harmonic generation frequencyresolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) for the complete intensity and phase characterization of both a sinusoidal beat signal and a train of 1.3 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 160GHz at 1550nm. Using a commercially-available optical spectrum analyzer in the SHG-FROG setup, incident pulses with energies of only 125fJ...
متن کاملModified spectrum autointerferometric correlation (MOSAIC) for single-shot pulse characterization.
A method for generation of the modified spectrum autointerferometric correlation that allows single-shot pulse characterization is demonstrated. A sensitive graphical representation of the ultrashort pulse phase quality is introduced that delineates the difference between the presence of temporal and spectral phase distortions. Using these schemes, full-field reconstruction of ultrashort laser ...
متن کاملMeasuring spatial chirp in ultrashort pulses using single-shot Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating.
We show that the spatio-temporal distortion, spatial chirp, is naturally and easily measured by single-shot versions of second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG FROG) (including the extremely simple version, GRENOUILLE);. While SHG FROG traces are ordinarily symmetrical, a pulse with spatial chirp yields a trace with a shear that is approximately twice the pulse spatial...
