Femtosecond pulse measurement of ultrafast spectrum is one of the important research directions in the ultrafast laser field. The conventional femtosecond pulse autocorrelation method is implemented by measuring the autocorrelated frequency-doubling signal, and the frequency-doubling signal has wavelength selectivity, so the femtosecond pulse measurement for the case of different central wavelengths needs to replace different frequency-doubling crystals, which is very inconvenient. This paper reports a kind of modified transient grating frequency resolution optical gating for measuring the femtosecond pulses. The method combines frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) method with four-wave mixing. Its basic process is to divide the pulse to be measured into three beams. Two of the pulses can reach spatiotemporal coincidence on optical medium through precise delay control and focus. The other pulse interacts with the transient grating, and serves as the detection light to produce signal light. The spectrum and delay time of the signal light are measured by a spectrometer, and the spectrum and electric field information of the femtosecond pulse to be measured are obtained through the inversion iterative algorithm. Because this method only needs the power density of the measured light to reach the third-order nonlinear effect, it can be applied to the femtosecond pulse measurement of any central wavelength. We use this method to measure the femtosecond pulses with the central wavelengths of 800 nm and 400 nm respectively, and the ultra-wide spectrum femtosecond pulses with the period magnitude of sub-10 fs, and compare the measurement results with the results obtained with the conventional interferometric autocorrelation instrument. They are basically consistent. The experimental results show that our frequency-resolved optical switching method based on transient grating is very effective for measuring the femtosecond pulses with different central wavelengths and pulse widths.
