Temporal Characterization of Laser Pulses Using an Air‐Based Knife‐Edge Technique by Pierre Béjot, Rishabh Kumar Bhalavi, Adrien Leblanc, Antoine Dubrouil, Franck Billard, Olivier Faucher, Edouard Hertz

“…The characterization of ultrashort laser pulses is presented by using the plasma‐induced frequency‐resolved optical switching technique, implemented in ambient air. The recently developed method allows for a temporal reconstruction of a pulse at its focal spot by utilizing a moderately intense pump laser pulse for generating a ionization‐induced ultrafast defocusing lens. …”
