研究一种基于非线性透明光学介质中的自衍射和自参考光谱干涉的新方法来进行飞秒激光脉冲测量. 实验中, 基于此新方法设计一种简单装置, 对800 nm 中心波长, 约40 fs 近无啁啾飞秒激光脉冲进行测量, 并与自参考光谱相干电场重建法测量结果进行比较, 得到了一致的结果. 此新方法与相应的装置结构简单, 可以对深紫外到中红外光谱范围的飞秒脉冲进行测量.
A new method of characterizing the femtosecond pulse is proposed based on the self-diffraction process in a thin transparent bulk medium and the self-reference spectral interferometry. A simple device is designed based on this technique and is successful in characterizing a ~40 fs pulse at 800 nm centeral wavelength. The result is in accordance with that measured by a commercial self-reference spectral phase interferometry for direct electric reconstruction. Pulses in a spectral range from deep UV to middle IR are expected to be measured by this new method and corresponding simple device.
