A streak camera for measuring the temporal correlation of two pulses in the few-fs range — •Marc Osenberg, Michael Stumpf, and Georg Pretzler — Institut für Laser- und Plasmaphysik, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf

For experiments with fs-scale XFEL or electron pulses together with laser pulses, the mutual timing is crucial. In this talk we present a novel all-optical method for obtaining such timing results with fs resolution. We developed a setup based on a Kerr gate which was elongated into a 1D structure along which single-shot temporal resolution is created within a tunable time window in the ps-range like in a streak camera. The setup requires an ultrashort laser pulse as the gate and an arbitrary light pulse as the signal. In the talk, we will present the setup and its characteristics and will discuss different ways to use it for various signal types, like OTR in the case of an electron pulse, for example.
