Light-Pulse-Measurement Tutorial

This tutorial introduces some of the light-measurement devices we've developed.  You can read it straight through, starting with the introduction, or jump to a given section using the menu on the left.

Once you've measured your light pulse, you'll want to understand its distortions, so the tutorial will also discuss spatio-temporal distortions.  And you'll need to compress a pulse that's longer than you'd like, so this tutorial will also discuss pulse compression.
