摘要
The authors introduce a method for cross correlating vacuum-ultraviolet with near-infrared femtosecond light pulses in a perpendicular geometry. Photoelectrons generated in an atomic gas by laser-assisted photoionization are used to create a two-dimensional image of the cross-correlation volume, thereby mapping time onto a space coordinate. Thus, information about pulse duration and relative timing between the pulses can be obtained without the need to scan an optical delay line. First tests using vacuum-ultraviolet pulses from the free-electron laser at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron set an upper limit for their temporal jitter with respect to external optical laser pulses.
