Description
Summary:A precise temporal characterization of the pulses involved in pump-probe experiments is crucial for a proper investigation of the ultrafast dynamics in several physical systems. Indeed, it is required for the assessment of the dynamical properties under examination with sufficient temporal resolution. In the fewfs/attosecond domain, typical reconstruction procedures require time-consuming interative methods, which are also sensitive to the experimental noise and to the distortion of the measurement. We developed an approach, called Simplified Trace Reconstruction In the Perturbative regimE (STRIPE), which allows us for a precise characterization of the infrared (IR) and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses, used in a pump-probe experiment. Our method is not based on a phase retrival algorithm, and for this it is typically much faster than the other ones currently known. Moreover, it allows for easily including in the reconstruction the experimental non-idealities that may affect the measurement, like possible distortion due to the measurement procedure itself.
