II Shaping and Analysis of Picosecond Light Pulses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the shaping and analysis of picosecond light pulses and the space-time coherence effects due to the new situation arising in optics such as the circumstances when large amounts of energy are carried by every one of the space time modes of the radiation, a situation realized for example with the laser pulses.

Method for Pulsewidth Measurement of Ultrashort Light Pulses Generated by Phase‐Locked Lasers using Nonlinear Optics
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear optics experimental arrangement is proposed for the measurement of the pulsewidth of ultrashort light pulses, which consists of a Michelson-like arrangement in which each light pulse is split into two pulses which are delayed and polarized orthogonally to one another.
