Measuring several-cycle 1.5-m pulses using frequency-resolved optical gating.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) for measuring the full intensity and phase of several-optical-cycle 1.5-m pulses generated from a Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Cr4+:YAG laser. This involves the use of an angle-dithered second-harmonic-generation crystal to achieve the full pulse bandwidth despite the use of a relatively thick nonlinear crystal.

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 کاملSimultaneously measuring two ultrashort laser pulses on a single-shot using double-blind frequency-resolved optical gating
We demonstrate a simple self-referenced single-shot method for simultaneously measuring two different arbitrary pulses, which can potentially be complex and also have very different wavelengths. The method is a variation of cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) that we call double-blind (DB) FROG. It involves measuring two spectrograms, both of which are obtained simultane...

We retrieve intensity and phase profiles of 280 fs, 50 MHz optical pulses with 124 aJ coupled pulse energy (960 photons) by second-harmonic generation (SHG) frequency-resolved optical gating, using aperiodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides. The strong nonlinear interaction that is due to confinement within the micrometer-sized waveguide structure and the linearly chirped poling period contribute, r...

We use mode multiplexing and demultiplexing in apodized aperiodically poled lithium niobate waveguides to enable characterization of picosecond optical pulses in a collinear but background-free way using autocorrelation and second-harmonic frequency-resolved optical gating.
متن کاملComparison of ultrashort-pulse frequency-resolved-optical-gating traces for three common beam geometries
We recently introduced frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), a technique for measuring the intensity and phase of an individual, arbitrary, ultrashort laser pulse. FROG can use almost any instantaneous optical nonlinearity, with the most common geometries being polarization gate, self-diffraction, and secondharmonic generation. The experimentally generated FROG trace is intuitive, visually ...
