Abstract
We propose and test experimentally a method, alternative to the autocorrelation technique, for determination of the duration of femtosecond laser pulses. The method is based on generation of nonlinear-dispersive similariton in a passive optical fiber (without gain) and measuring its spectral width (or duration) determined by the power of the initial pulse.
