Abstract :
A nonlinear 3-methyl 4-nitropyridine 1-oxide (POM) crystal is used in a collinear type-I autocorrelator for the measurement of picosecond pulses generated by 1.3-1.55 mu m semi-conductor lasers. Experiments were performed at 1.3 mu m. Measurements of laser pulses with peak powers as low as 300 mu W are reported.
