Two-Photon Absorption FROG: measuring white-light continuum pulses

Presentation Date: 

Monday, May 7, 2001

Location: 

Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (Baltimore, MD)
We demonstrate a new type of frequency resolved optical gating using the two- photon-absorption nonlinearity. The resonant enhancement and lack of phasematching re- quirements enable the FROG measurement of ultrashort white-light continuum laser pulses.
