This pulse is better displayed as a movie, so you can see the y-dependence, too. Here's a view of this pulse as if it's propagating into your eye (yeah, don't try this at home), but slowed down by about a factor of about 100,000,000,000,000.
Notice that the pulse begins its life as red and evolves through the visible spectrum to blue (this is temporal chirp). Its red color appears on the right, while the blue is on the left (this is spatial chirp). And finally, it begins slightly to the right and ends to the left of the center of the page (this is pulse-front tilt). The white dashed curves are contours of constant intensity at particular times. STRIPED FISH can measure much more complex pulses than this, but this example nicely shows its capabilities for well-known distortions.
