Implication

Experimental study demonstrates measurement of ultra-fast optical pulses from a mode-locked neodymium-glass laser, indicating diagnostic capabilities down to sub-picosecond timescales.

Key Points

Measure the temporal profile and duration of ultra-short pulses generated by a mode-locked Nd-glass laser.
Applied symmetry properties of surface second-harmonic generation on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) crystal to probe ultra-fast optical waveforms.
Evaluated output pulses produced by a mode-locked Nd-glass laser system.
Measured Nd-glass laser pulses exhibited a full width at half power of between 4 and 6 picoseconds.
Demonstrated that the measurement technique achieves a temporal resolution capable of detecting pulse widths down to at least 4 × 10⁻¹³ seconds.
