Product Description
The Frequency-Resolved Optical-Gating (FROG) technique has revolutionized our ability to measure and understand ultrashort laser pulses. This book contains everything you need to know to measure even the shortest, weakest, or most complex ultrashort laser pulses. Whether you're an undergrad or an advanced researcher, you'll find easy-to-understand descriptions of all the key ideas behind all the FROG techniques, all the practical details of pulse measurement, and many new directions of research.
This book is not like any other scientific book. It is a lively discussion of the basic concepts. It is an advanced treatment of research-level issues. It includes a CD containing several polished PowerPoint lectures (in English and French) suitable for a graduate course. The CD also contains both PC and MAC versions of the FROG code, ready to retrieve pulses in the lab or just to learn how FROG works. It also contains several additional chapters by the world's leading experts on ultrashort pulse measurement, including a detailed description of measurements of the shortest pulse ever created.
The image on the front cover of the book is a FROG trace of one of the shortest events ever created, a 4.5-fs laser pulse, measured by Baltuska, et al; JQE, 459 (1999) |

The definative manual for ultrashort laser pulse measurement 
Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG) combines the best parts of autocorrelation and spectrum to produce detailed information about ultrashort laser pulses. If you are involved in modelocked lasers and are no longer satisfied with the ambiguities of your autocorrelator, then get this book!
This is a collection of chapters co-authored by Rick Trebino and other big names in the ultrafast world and it is very up to date. Introductory topics in math and nonlinear optics are covered as background while the shortcomings of other methods are also discussed. All versions of Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating are covered in detail; this book covers the characterization of ultrashort laser pulses from start to finish.
In addition, iterative algorithms for processing FROG traces are available as well as PowerPoint slides for a class on ultrafast phenomena.
This well-written and user-friendly book is a MUST-HAVE for anyone working with modelocked lasers and wishing to characterize both intensity and phase information for ultrashort laser pulses.
