Abstract
We demonstrate a new pulse measurement technique, two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry, which is particularly amenable to the optimization of few-cycle lasers. The method only requires the calibration of the spectral shear and is stable to incoming beam perturbations. We show initial results of measurements from a 5 fs Ti:sa oscillator.
