摘要
Standard silicon photodiodes and CCD cameras are convenient and inexpensive alternatives to cryogenically cooled diodes or arrays for autocorrelation and imaging of ultrafast IR laser pulses in the wavelength range 3-11 mum. The response of these Si devices to IR pulses of duration similar to 100 fs is proportional to E-n, where E is the pulse energy and n is approximately the Si electronic bandgap divided by the photon energy.
