Abstract :
Summary from only given. We demonstrate that spectral interferometry is a well suited technique for measuring the spectral phase shift due to cascading phenomena produced by femtosecond pulses during SHG. The experiment we performed has slightly non collinear beams that are mixed in a 2 mm BBO crystal cut for type, I phase matching.
