The goal: measuring the intensity and phase vs. time (or frequency) The ways: The Spectrometer and Michelson Interferometer Scanning Autocorrelation Single-shot autocorrelation The Autocorrelation and Spectrum Third-order Autocorrelation Interferometric Autocorrelation;;Ultrashort laser pulses are the shortest technological events ever created by humans.;To determine the temporal resolution of an experiment using it. To determine whether it can be made even shorter. To better understand the lasers that emit them and to verify models of ultrashort pulse generation. To better study media: the better we know the light in and light out, the better we know the medium we study with them. To use pulses of specific intensity and phase vs. time to control chemical reactions: “Coherent control.” To understand pulse-shaping efforts for telecommunications, etc. Because it’s there.;Exp’t;A laser pulse has the time-domain electric field:;??t???????? ????d??dt;;Pulse Measurement in the Time Domain: Detectors;Pulse Measurement in the Time Domain: Varying the pulse delay;We can also vary the delay using a mirror pair or corner cube.;;Okay, so how do we measure a pulse?;Pulse Measurement in the Time Domain: The Intensity Autocorrelator;Single-Shot Autocorrelation;Single-Shot Autocorrelation;;Single-Shot Autocorrelation of Longer Pulses;Practical Issues in Autocorrelation;Square Pulse and Its Autocorrelation;Gaussian Pulse and Its Autocorrelation;;Lorentzian Pulse and Its Autocorrelation;Autocorrelations of more complex intensities;Autocorr 2;Autocorrelations of complex pulses: first consider a double pulse;Autocorrelation of Very Complex Pulses;Pulse Measurement in Both Domains: Combining the Spectrum and Autocorrelation;Ambiguities in TIVI: Pulses with the Same Autocorrelation and Spectrum;Ambiguities in TIVI: More Pulses with the Same Autocorrelation and Spectrum;;When a shorter reference pulse is available: The Intensity Cross-Correlat
