Fig. 1. Principle of the TWINS. Block A introduces a constant negative delay. Block B moves to scan t1. Block C corrects the parallelism and front tilt of the beams. Arrows indicate the orientation of the optical axis in each element. Below each pulse is indicated its polarization. Inset : Path for X and Y-polarized beams inside the TWINS. Angles are exaggerated for clarity.
