Subnanosecond pulse duration measurements by noncollinear second harmonic generation
Abstract
A new scheme for measuring the pulse duration using noncollinear second harmonic generation is proposed. Correlation functions of single subnanosecond pulses may be recorded with short crystals by introducing a proper delay. Pulsewidth in the 100 ps-1 ns range was measured using this technique.
