“The Frequency-Resolved Optical-Gating (FROG)
technique has revolutionized our ability to measure and understand ultrashort
laser pulses. This book contains everything you need to know to measure
even the shortest, weakest, or most complex ultrashort laser pulses. Whether
you're an undergrad or an advanced researcher, you'll find easy-to-understand
descriptions of all the key ideas behind all the FROG techniques, all
the practical details of pulse measurement, and many new directions of
research. This book is not like any other scientific book. It is a lively
discussion of the basic concepts. It is an advanced treatment of research-level
issues. It includes a CD containing several polished PowerPoint lectures
(in English and French) suitable for a graduate course. The CD also contains
both PC and MAC versions of the FROG code, ready to retrieve pulses in
the lab or just to learn how FROG works. It also contains several additional
chapters by the world's leading experts on ultrashort pulse measurement,
including a detailed description of measurements of the shortest pulse
ever created. The image on the front cover of the book is a FROG trace
of one of the shortest events ever created, a 4.5 fs laser pulse, measured
by Baltuska, et al; JQE, 459 (1999).”
