Ultrashort Pulse Characterization Over Octave Spanning Spectral Range in Visible-IR Using Amplitude Swing

During the last decades, there is an increasing need of ultrashort characterization techniques able to operate in different spectral regions due to the strong rise of new tunable laser sources (e.g. optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers) with applications in spectroscopy, biomedicine or micro-machining, among others [1].
