Abstract
In Frequency Resolved Optical Gating (FROG) the nonlinear optical Kerr effect is used to generate a signal similar to an autocorrelation function of the third order: the laser beam is divided in two parts. These two parts are overlapped again in a Kerr medium (sapphire crystal) with a determined delay in order to change the polarization plane of the beam in dependence of its intensity. The spectral distribution of the gained signal is measured for different delay times.
