摘要：

A third-order correlator with a single-shot time window and a full dynamic range of 10(8) is developed. The time contrast of radiation from the front-end system of a petawatt femtosecond laser complex measured with the correlator within time windows +/- 1 ps and +/- 100 ps was 10(4) and more than 10(8), respectively. Based on the theoretical analysis of the cross-correlator operation, a number of requirements providing the optimal functioning of the cross-correlator are found. The reasons restricting the technical parameters of the correlator are discussed.
