Abstract

We demonstrate a simple device for measuring two independent ultrashort pulses, each of which can potentially be complex and can also have very different center wavelength, simultaneously in a single-shot. We call our device "double-blind" FROG and it is implemented using a polarization-gate geometry. In polarization-gate "double-blind" FROG, each pulse acts as a reference pulse for the measurement of the other and yields the intensity and phase of both pulses.
