Measurement of Ultrashort Vector Pulses From Polarization Gates by In-Line, Single-Channel Spectral Interferometry

[EN]The growing use of ultrashort laser pulses exhibiting time-varying polarization (vector pulses) demands simple and robust characterization techniques capable to perform measurements in a broad range of experimental and environmental conditions. Here we present in-line, single-channel setup based...
