Novel technique for characterization of ultrashort optical pulses
Peterka, Pavel ; Kozák, Martin (advisor) ; Ostatnický, Tomáš (referee)
Ultrashort laser pulses are nowadays widely used in both the basic and applied reseach as well as in a wide range of applications. Application of laser pulses requires their complete characterization from the point of view of temporal evolution of field amplitude and frequency on femtosecond timescales. This thesis is focused on a new method for ultrashort pulse characterization, which involves measuring spectral interference between input pulse and the pulse transmitted through a medium with cubic nonlinear susceptibility. The new method is inte- resting compared to the established techniques mainly because of its simplicity, as it requires only one medium with cubic nonlinear susceptibility and a spectro- meter. We have implemented the technique experimentally and determined pulse duration and phase for ideally compressed pulse.
