Abstract

A technique involving cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating is applied in characterizing an optical pulse train consisting of several spectral components. An optical beat was used as a reference pulse for measuring the relative spectral phase among the spectral components in the test pulse generated by four-wave Raman mixing in hydrogen gas. It was confirmed that a change in the relative phase can be measured by monitoring the shift in the interference fringe and that Raman emissions generated by four-wave Raman mixing are phase locked.
