Abstract
The measurement of the complex electric field of ultrashort light pulses is highly desirable to obtain complete information on their amplitude and phase. The common means of intensity autocorrelations and spectral measurements do not provide any information on the spectral phase of the measured pulse. A host of methods have been devised to overcome this problem but none of them has thus far proven to be convenient enough to be widely adopted. We present here a method1,2 which is easy to implement experimentally and very reliable even in the case of noisy data.
