摘要
Recently we presented a vectorial pulse characterization method based on the spectral polarimetric analysis of femtosecond laser pulses before and after propagation through a Kerr medium. In this work we present an improvement of the method. We propose to carry out the spectral polarimetric analysis by using the technique named spectroscopic polarimetry with a channelled spectrum which has been developed by Oka and Kato (1999 Opt. Lett. 24 1475). This combination supposes an important improvement of the data acquisition process both in velocity and accuracy.
