Abstract
An easy and reliable way is presented to measure the duration of UV femtosecond laser pulses of λ < 200 nm. The used autocorrelation techniques are based on two-photon absorption (TPA) in different TPA media, especially calcium fluoride (CaF2). For 197 nm, the laser-pulse energy transmission and the laser-induced fluorescence of self-trapped excitons at 278 nm are applied. Both methods yield nearly the same second-order autocorrelation functions allowing to analyze the investigated laser pulse and obtain its duration of \((350\pm10)\) fs.
