Ultra-broadband phase-matching ultrashort-laser-pulse measurement techniques

In the past several decades the technology for the creation and use of ultrashort pulses has progressed tremendously. Now, it is possible to generate laser pulses as short as a few femtoseconds in duration, and such pulses have been used for a wide range of applications. In addition, the means of measuring these pulses has progressed so rapidly. However, despite recent great advances in ultrashort-pulse measurement techniques, much remains to be done. In particular, pulse-measurement devices have relatively small wavelength-tuning ranges, and the phase-match is problematic for the pulses with a wide bandwidth such as supercontinuum. In this thesis, I will demonstrate a new pulse measurement technique which can phase-match ultra-broad bandwidth of super-continuum using transient grating frequency-resolved-optical-gating (TG FROG). Also, I will demonstrate a simplified device which can measure the UV ultra-short pulse using transient grating process, one of the third-order nonlinearity and can cover from UV to IR with the same arrangement.
