论文摘要
理解结构化超快光脉冲的独特特性对于超快激光器的物理,应用和仪器至关重要。但是,由于具有多种自由度,脉冲的全部矢量特征仍然具有挑战性。在这项工作中,我们实施并演示了电场重建(VIPER)的矢量干涉偏振仪,该电场重建(Viper)首次能够精确地确定整个检测区域的每个空间上的特定的三维电子场。该计量学为高级超快光学元件提供了强大的工具,并通过提供脉冲的全部信息来设计优化超快光学元件的方式,从而促进了其在光学物理学研究,泵浦探针光谱和基于激光器的制造中的应用。
Comprehending the unique characteristics of structured ultrafast optical pulses is essential to the physics, applications and instrumentations of ultrafast lasers. However, full-vectrorial characterizations of the pulses remain challenging because of their multiple degrees of freedom. In this work, we implement and demonstrate the vectorial interferometric polarimeter for electric-field reconstruction (VIPER) which, for the first time, is able to precisely determine the specific three-dimensional E-field at every spatial-temporal coordinate throughout the entire detection region. This metrology provides a powerful tool for advanced ultrafast optics and paves the way for design optimization of ultrafast optics by providing the full information of the pulses, facilitating its applications in optical physics research, pump-probe spectroscopy and laser-based manufacturing.
