Fiber-based measurement of temporal intensity and phase profiles of an optical telecommunication pulse through self-phase modulation
2018
International audience; We propose and experimentally validate an all-fiber based approach to characterize the phase and intensity profiles of optical pulses. Based on three optical spectra affected by different levels of self-phase modulation, we were able to reconstruct the temporal details of pulses typical of optical telecommunications.
Sensitivity of SHG-FROG for the characterization of ultrahigh-repetition-rate telecommunication laser sources
2004
International audience; We analyze experimentally the sensitivity of second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) for the complete intensity and phase characterization of both a sinusoidal beat signal and a train of 1.3 ps pulses at a repetition rate of 160 GHz at 1550 nm. Using a commercially-available optical spectrum analyzer in the SHG-FROG set-up, incident pulses with energies of only 125 and 190 fJ, which correspond to the beat signal and the 1.3 ps pulse train, respectively, have been accurately characterized.
Spectral phase reconstruction of femtosecond laser pulse from interferometric autocorrelation and evolutionary algorithm
2021
International audience; We report on the complete temporal characterization of femtosecond laser pulses from second-order interferometric autocorrelation and laser spectrum measurements. The method exploits a newly developed autocorrelator based on a two photon-absorption signal produced directly within a camera sensor so as to provide a single-shot interferometric autocorrelation of great reliability and robustness. Interferometric autocorrelation trace and laser spectrum are exploited for a spectral phase retrieval via an evolutionary algorithm. The quality of the reconstruction for highly modulated spectral phases imprinted by a pulse shaper confirms the reliability of the method. The au…
