摘要：

We present a variant of spatially encoded spectral shearing interferometry for measuring two-dimensional spatio-temporal slices of few-cycle pulses centered around 2 mu m. We demonstrate experimentally that the device accurately retrieves the pulse-front tilt caused by angular dispersion of two-cycle pulses. We then use the technique to characterize 500-650 mu J pulses from a hollow fiber pulse compressor, with durations as short as 7.1 fs (1.3 optical cycles).
