Directly Measuring the Pulse Front Distortion of High-Peak-Power Femtosecond Lasers

Pulse front distortion occurring in lenses can broaden the temporal profile of the pulse at focus and therefore decrease the focused intensity, especially for large-aperture femtosecond lasers. A previously proposed self-reference cross correlator was improved to directly measure the pulse front dis...
