Abstract

A phase-sensitive single-shot autocorrelator (FROG) for the UV spectral region based on the electronic Kerr effect is demonstrated. Since the Kerr shutter technique leads to a third-order autocorrelation function, information about pulse asymmetries and pulse structures along with the temporal phase can be obtained.
