The Scanning Interferometric Autocorrelator is distinguished the more sensitivity to the pulse shape than the intensity autocorrelators and provides enough information to determine the exact femtosecond pulse shape.

FS Pulse

The Interferometric Autocorrelator (IA) can provide very useful information about femtosecond pulse chirp. IA accuracy of the definition pulse duration can be 5-10%.


Computer registration of the interferometric autocorrelator signal gives a possibility for the femtosecond pulse full analysis and exact pulse shape determination.
