Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating: The Measurement of Ultrashort Laser Pulses

Abstract

Extremely short (~10 fs or less) pulse are now available in several labs and have a wide range of applications. You might think that such extremely short pulses couldn’t possibly be distorted and still be so short, but that’s absolutely not the case. Indeed, intensity and phase distortions not only exist in such incredibly short pulses, but they play decisive—and even useful—roles in many phenomena. For instance, pulses with identical spectra but different spectral phases yield wildly different efficiency in high-harmonic-generation processes [1]. The spectral phase also heavily affects wave-packet motion in organic molecules [2,3], population inversion in liquid [4] and gas [5] phases, and even the direction of a chemical reaction [6]. Moreover, a totally automated search for the best shaped pulse to optimize a pre-selected reaction channel was recently demonstrated [7– 9]. Measuring the phase and amplitude of the excitation pulses in such experiments then allows a back-reconstruction of potential surfaces of the parent molecule.
