Abstract
In all the FROG beam geometries we’ve just discussed, the relative delay is varied by scanning a mirror position. Because only one value of the delay can be set at a time, only one spectrum can be taken at a time. As a result, to produce a FROG trace, these methods require measuring spectra over at least as many laser pulses as the desired number of delay values. More, if we average over more than one pulse for each delay. But what if you’ve just amplified your pulse up to a Joule, and the rep rate is one pulse per hour, and you just don’t feel like waiting around for the day or two it’ll take to measure it with such a multi-shot method?
