Abstract
We demonstrate the single-shot autocorrelation of an ultrashort laser pulse at relativistic intensity (above 1018W∕cm2). The pulse is divided into two equally strong laser pulses which are focused into a He-gas jet under an angle of 180°. Nonlinear Thomson scattering from plasma electrons is used as second-order autocorrelation signal.Keywords
