Development of a single-shot third-order cross-correlator for picosecond laser systems

Abstract

In this paper we present the development of a near-field single-shot third-order cross-correlator. We present measurements of sub-ps pulses at λ=1055.5nm demonstrating the device has a temporal window of ΔT=36.4 ps and a resolution of δt=91 fs. We also discuss the spectral acceptance and the minimum required operational conditions.
