Fast and continuous cross-correlation measurements of a double synchronously pumped mode-locked dye laser system

The use of commercially available autocorrelators for generating continuous and fast display of cross correlations as well as autocorrelation traces is demonstrated for a double synchronously pumped mode-locked dye laser, emitting at two different wavelengths. We show how the average relative time delay between both pulse trains can be read directly on a picosecond time scale. As such, this technique extends the monitoring capabilities of these devices.
