Ptychographic reconstruction of attosecond pulses

Opt Express. 2015 Nov 16;23(23):29502-13. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.029502.

Abstract

We demonstrate a new attosecond pulse reconstruction modality which uses an algorithm that is derived from ptychography. In contrast to other methods, energy and delay sampling are not correlated, and as a result, the number of electron spectra to record is considerably smaller. Together with the robust algorithm, this leads to a more precise and fast convergence of the reconstruction.
