Abstract
Rapid measurements of ultrashort optical pulse chirping were realized with a newly developed real-time chirp monitor. The application of a moving coil translator and electrical filters enabled the rapid measurement and decoding of fringe-resolved second-harmonic-generation (FRSHG) autocorrelation. The prototype system displayed chirping characteristics at a repetition rate higher than a few hertz, which demonstrates the usefulness of this monitor for dye laser system alignment.Keywords
