Concepts for the Temporal Characterization of Short Optical Pulses

چکیده
Methods for the characterization of the time-dependent electric field of short optical pulses are reviewed. The representation of these pulses in terms of correlation functions and time-frequency distributions is discussed, and the strategies for their characterization are explained using these representations. Examples of the experimental implementations of the concepts of spectrography, interferometry, and tomography for the characterization of pulses in the optical telecommunications environment are presented.

متن کاملUltrafast pulse characterization using XPM in silicon
Due to the high-index contrast between the silicon core and silica cladding, the silicon waveguide allows strong optical confinement and large effective nonlinearity, which facilitates low cost chip scale demonstration of all-optical nonlinear functional devices at relatively low pump powers. One of the challenges in ultrafast science is the full characterization of optical pulses in real time....

We demonstrate a simple method for complete characterization (of amplitudes and phases) of short optical pulses, using only a dispersive delay line and an oscilloscope. The technique is based on using a dispersive delay line to stretch the pulses and recording the temporal interference of two delayed replicas of the pulse train. Then, by transforming the time domain interference measurements to...
