Overview

The frequency-resolved optical-gating (FROG) technique has revolutionized our ability to measure and understand ultrashort laser pulses. This book contains much of what you need to know to measure even the shortest, weakest, or most complex ultrashort laser pulses. The book is a discussion of basic concepts as well as an advanced treatment of research-level issues.
