| Abstract: | We demonstrate a new technique for the direct, real-time, femtosecond scale temporal measurement based on the conversion of temporal information to the spectral domain. The potential of the method has been experimentally investigated with an optical fiber spectral compressor device, first stretching and up-chirping the pulses in a prism dispersive delay line, and afterwards compensating the induced chirp by means of cross-phase modulation in a single-mode fiber. Spectro-temporal imaging (STI) reduces the problem of high-resolution temporal measurements to standard spectrometry |
