Phase measurement in long chirped pulses with spectral phase jumps
Abstract:
Characterization of the chirp in stretched laser pulses is performed with a novel, simple method, based on the use of a plasma mirror switch coupled with a spectrometer. For a 36nm full width half maximum bandwidth and 360ps chirped laser pulse, the spectral phase of the pulse was measured in few hundred of points. Besides the chirp measurement, the approach allows the detection of jumps in the optical path, hence spectral phase jumps corresponding to less than 3ps.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
