Abstract
We describe measurements of pulses consisting of only eight optical periods. The pulses were produced by compression with a short optical fiber and a grating pair. Measurement was by autocorrelation using noncollinear second harmonic generation in a thin crystal of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.Keywords
