The invention relates to a system (10) for characterising a pulse (I) of electromagnetic radiation by time-resolved optical windowing, which comprises an device (1) for forming an interference which is suitable for superimposing four parts of the pulse. The system also comprises a matrix image sensor (3) which selectively captures an interference pattern formed by the pulse from two-photon absorptions. Said system allows the pulse shape to be obtained completely and accurately, and is particularly suitable for characterising ultrashort pulses. In various embodiments, the two-photon absorption can be produced in the matrix image sensor, or replaced by optical frequency doubling which is produced by an SHG crystal plate.
