Abstract

We demonstrate the first technique for the complete temporal measurement of a single supercontinuum pulse. We achieve large ranges and high resolutions using polarization gating, a tilted gate pulse, and the cancellation of geometrical smearing.

Simplified Pre-Characterization of Chirped Pulses in Single-shot Supercontinuum Spectral Interferometry

We develop a method to pre-characterize a chirped pulse in single-shot supercontinuum spectral interferometry (SSSI). In this method, the spectral phase of both modulated (probe) and unmodulated (reference) pulses can be determined simultaneously.

Coherent properties of supercontinuum sources are highly significant for various applications, including low-coherence interferometry and optical frequency metrology. We propose a fast method for the spatial and temporal self-coherence of the SC measurement using Michelson interferometer without a mirror movement. Furthermore, we present self-coherence measurements of the supercontinuum, generated in microstructured fiber at 780 nm.
