چکیده
Ultrashort-laser-pulse retrieval in frequency-resolved optical gating has previously required an iterative algorithm. Here, however, we show that a computational neural network can directly and rapidly recover the intensity and phase of a pulse.

Measuring ultrashort laser pulses in the time-frequency domain using frequency-resolved optical gating
We summarize the problem of measuring an ultrashort laser pulse and describe in detail a technique that completely characterizes a pulse in time: frequency-resolved optical gating. Emphasis is placed on the choice of experimental beam geometry and the implementation of the iterative phase-retrieval algorithm that together yield an accurate measurement of the pulse time-dependent intensity and p...
متن کاملUsing phase retrieval to measure the intensity and phase of ultrashort pulses: frequency-resolved optical gating
Received September 16, 1992; accepted October 9, 1992; revised manuscript received December 1, 1992 We recently introduced a new technique, frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), for directly determining the full intensity I(t) and phase p(t) of a single femtosecond pulse. By using almost any instantaneous nonlinearoptical interaction of two replicas of the ultrashort pulse to be measured, F...
متن کاملReal-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 کاملNoise sensitivity in frequency-resolved optical-gating measurements of ultrashort pulses
Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), a technique for measuring ultrashort laser pulses, involves producing a spectrogram of the pulse and then retrieving the pulse intensity and phase with an iterative algorithm. We study how several types of noise—multiplicative, additive, and quantization—affect pulse retrieval. We define a convergence criterion and find that the algorithm converges to a...
متن کاملMeasurement of the intensity and phase of attojoule femtosecond light pulses using Optical-Parametric-Amplification Cross-Correlation Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating.
We use the combination of ultrafast gating and high parametric gain available with Difference-Frequency Generation (DFG) and Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA) to achieve the complete measurement of ultraweak ultrashort light pulses. Specifically, spectrally resolving such an amplified gated pulse vs. relative delay yields the complete pulse intensity and phase vs. time. This technique is a...
