Abstract
We retrieve the spectral phase of pulses at with coupled pulse energy (40 photons) by the modified interferometric field autocorrelation method, using a pulse shaper and a long periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide. The carrier-envelope phase control of the shaper can reduce the fringe density of the interferometric trace and permits longer lock-in time constants, achieving a sensitivity of (40 times better than the previous record for self-referenced nonlinear pulse measurement). The high stability of the pulse shaper allows for accurate and reproducible measurements of complicated spectral phases.
