Abstract

In this talk, we present a programmable pulse measurement device based on an acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter (AOPDF). This device is single-beam and able to implement either SPIDER, SH-FROG or interferometric SH-FROG pulse characterization techniques with the same optical layout. Experimental demonstrations of SPIDER and SH-FROG techniques are provided on an amplified kHz laser system delivering 10 nm bandwidth pulses at ~800 nm.
