How to Measure the Characteristics of Laser Pulses

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

In the previous chapter we showed how to produce and how to manipulate ultrashort laser pulses.But before such pulses are used for experiments, it is necessary to characterize these pulses properly to determine the experimental conditions. This chapter deals with such characterization.
