Fig. 1. (a) The testing pulse with a postpulse, (b) the second-order autocorrelation signal, (c) the third-order autocorrelation signal, and (d) the fourth-order autocorrelation signal.
Fig. 2. The GVM in TOAC and FOAC.
Fig. 3. Schematic representation of the proof-of-principle experimental setup using FOAC for single-shot TC measurement. BS1 and BS2: two beam splitters. CCM1–CCM3: three concave cylindrical mirrors. DL1 and DL2: two time delay lines. GP: a glass plate for SD signal generation. BE1 and BE2: two beam expanders. DF: a strip-shaped density filter. CW: a coated wedge. L1 and L2: two lenses that form the 4f imaging system. BPF: a bandpass filter.
Fig. 4. (a) The intensity distribution of the original signal and the replica on the sCMOS. The original signal and the replica are shown in the rectangle area marked with white-dashed lines. The part of the replica signal marked with red lines is zoomed for better visibility in the larger of the two red rectangles. (b) The intensity distribution of the original signal and the replica along the horizontal direction.
