Background
Laser light has been known as "fastest knife", "brightest light" and "best rule" with its excellent characteristics since the invention in the 20 th century; becomes another important invention of human beings after nuclear energy, computers and semiconductors since the 20 th century. The generation of laser light requires at least three factors: a working substance for realizing population inversion, an excitation source for exciting atoms and an optical resonant cavity for realizing optical amplification. With the development of laser technology, laser light is widely used in the fields of communications, industry, military affairs, medical treatment, etc. due to its characteristics of good monochromaticity, strong coherence, good directivity, and high energy concentration. The laser spot quality is a main reason for influencing laser application, and the laser pulse width is a key factor influencing the laser spot quality, especially ultra-short laser technologies such as femtosecond/attosecond. Therefore, the requirement of the industry on the quantitative control of the ultrashort laser is continuously increased, and especially the accurate measurement of the pulse width of the ultrashort laser is very important.
In recent years, the requirement for laser quantification in the industry is increasing, and especially, the accurate and rapid measurement of the ultra-short laser pulse width is important. The main principle of the ultrashort laser pulse autocorrelator is to divide a laser pulse into two laser beams and make the two laser beams generate time delay correlation, and then recover the time width of the laser pulse according to the time delay correlation among the laser pulses and convert the time width into space length for measurement.
There are two main common approaches to ultrashort laser pulses: (1) in the space light type scheme, a femtosecond laser adopts space light output, adopts a grating pair as a dispersion regulator, and realizes the control of femtosecond laser pulse by changing the spacing of the grating pair; (2) the optical fiber type scheme adopts optical fiber jumpers with different lengths to realize dispersion adjustment of laser pulses. However, the scheme (1) has high requirements on optical path adjustment, the grating pair spacing needs to be accurately adjusted, and the pulse width needs to be calibrated by a standard autocorrelator when the grating pair spacing is used, so that the operation is complicated; in addition, the grating use causes larger insertion loss to cause the quality of the laser spot to be reduced; although the scheme (2) is convenient to operate, the transmitted light pulse in the optical fiber is difficult to keep accurate horizontal or vertical linear polarization, so that double-pulse or complex chirp characteristics are easy to appear after the femtosecond laser passes through an optical fiber jumper, and the autocorrelation test result is unstable.
