摘要:

在飞秒或阿秒时间尺度上用光探测物理系统的演化需要超短光脉冲的精确表征。这种脉冲的时间分布通常通过利用光学非线性的方法来检索,这需要显著的信号功率并且在有限的光谱范围\cite{Trebino_Review_of_Scientific_Instruments97,Walmsley_Review_09}中操作。我们提出了一种线性自参考表征技术的基础上的脉冲光谱分量的时域本地化,在单光子制度。光谱切片的精确定时是用标准单光子探测器实现的,使得该技术适用于从近红外到深紫外的任何光谱范围。使用探测电子学与约$70$ ps响应,我们检索的时间轮廓的皮瓦脉冲训练与$\sim10$ fs分辨率,设置一个新的规模的灵敏度在超短脉冲表征。

英文摘要:

Probing the evolution of physical systems at the femto- or attosecond timescale with light requires accurate characterization of ultrashort optical pulses. The time profiles of such pulses are usually retrieved by methods utilizing optical nonlinearities, which require significant signal powers and operate in a limited spectral range\cite{Trebino_Review_of_Scientific_Instruments97,Walmsley_Review_09}. We present a linear self-referencing characterization technique based on time domain localization of the pulse spectral components, operated in the single-photon regime. Accurate timing of the spectral slices is achieved with standard single photon detectors, rendering the technique applicable in any spectral range from near infrared to deep UV. Using detection electronics with about $70$ ps response, we retrieve the temporal profile of a picowatt pulse train with $\sim10$ fs resolution, setting a new scale of sensitivity in ultrashort pulse characterization.
