Abstract :
Summary form only given. We demonstrate that space-time coupling can be characterized completely using very sensitive linear, time-stationary optics, without requiring complete characterization of the pulse. We also define and calculate a degree of spatio-temporal uniformity to quantify space-time coupling. This should be useful both from a scientific and technical point of view for ultrafast optics.
