    We developed a new method for characterizing ultrafast optical pulses, even at the single-photon level. This technique avoids nonlinear effects, enabling precise measurements of pulse properties without complex setups.

    Area of Science:

    • Quantum optics
    • Ultrafast laser science
    • Optical metrology

    Background:

    • Characterizing ultrafast optical pulses is crucial for many scientific applications.
    • Existing methods often struggle with single-photon level measurements or require nonlinear optical effects.
    • There is a need for robust, accessible pulse characterization techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel pulse characterization scheme suitable for single-photon level measurements.
    • To develop a method that does not rely on nonlinear optical effects.
    • To enable fully electronic experimental control for pulse characterization.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed method maps the magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform of the optical pulse.
    • It involves introducing controlled time and frequency shifts to the pulse.

  • Frequency shifting is achieved using an electro-optic modulator for electronic control.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique successfully characterized the spectral and temporal width of both classical and single-photon level pulses.
    • The reconstruction algorithm for spectral phase and amplitude was validated.
    • The method demonstrated suitability for partially-incoherent light.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed scheme offers a non-nonlinear approach for ultrafast pulse characterization at the single-photon level.
    • It provides a versatile tool for optical metrology and quantum optics experiments.
    • The method is extendable with phase-sensitive measurements and applicable to partially-incoherent light.
