  • Apparatus and method for characterizing ultrafast polarization varying optical pulses
    Patent number: 5936732
    Abstract: Practical techniques are described for characterizing ultrafast potentially ultraweak, ultrashort optical pulses. The techniques are particularly suited to the measurement of signals from nonlinear optical materials characterization experiments, whose signals are generally too weak for full characterization using conventional techniques.
