Picosecond Laser Pulse Measurement

The spatial width of a pulse in the propagation direction is given by the group velocity times the temporal pulse width.

Picosecond laser pulse measurement.

Picosecond microwave pulse measurement. The width of the cross correlation curve is about 75 ps when the length of cs 2 medium is 1 cm which is the same as the result of no cs 2 fig. The measurement of time bandwidth product of the generated coherent picosecond pulses at 500 mhz modulation gave the value of 0 38 for lorentzian pulse shape with a full width at half maximum of nearly 34 ps which proved definitely the fourier transform limited character more less. The special symmetry properties of second harmonic generation at the surface of a gaas crystal are used in a technique which measures the shape of the fast pulses from a mode locked nd glass laser.

As the first stage of pulse width measurement however we examined a pulse width measurement technique in the picosecond range by using. The nature of the. The temporal evolutions of the picosecond pulse are measured when the picosecond laser pulse propagates in cs 2 nonlinear medium with different lengths which are presented in fig.

Fwhm laser is the pulse width of the laser excitation source. A pump probe technique that uses a femtosecond laser and ultra short gamma ray pulses is the most potential candidate. Article osti 1185500 title multifunctional optical correlator for picosecond ultraviolet laser pulse measurement author rakhman abdurahim and wang yang and garcia frances and long cary d. The schematic diagram of the experimental setup for the spatiotemporal intensity measurement of the picosecond laser pulses by using the cup system is shown in fig.

The technique is capable of measuring pulse widths at least as short as 4 10 13 sec. Pulse width measurement in the sub picosecond to picosecond range. Edinburgh instruments epl series of diode lasers have pulse widths down to 55 ps and are ideal for most scenarios. Despite the high velocity of light ultrashort pulses can also be very short in the spatial domain.

The pulses studied were found to have a full width at half power of between 4 and 6 picoseconds.
