Abstract
We characterize chirped-pulse amplification systems by using spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction. For the first time to the authors’ knowledge, single-shot real-time operation has been obtained for this technique, leading to a fast and accurate optimization of these systems.Keywords
