Title:
METHOD OF MEASURING NONLINEARITY SPATIAL PROFILES OF SAMPLES AND TEMPORAL PROFILES OF OPTICAL PULSES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004019018
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for measuring a physical function forms a symmetric composite function by combining the physical function with a reference function. The method obtains a Fourier transform of the symmetric composite function. The method calculates an inverse Fourier transform of the obtained Fourier transform, wherein the calculated inverse Fourier transform provides information regarding the physical function. The physical function can be a nonlinearity profile of a sample with at least one sample surface. The physical function can alternatively by a sample temporal waveform of a sample optical pulse.
