An autocorrelator based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer is proposed for ultrashort pulse measurement. Main features of this autocorrelator due to the superposition of multiple pulses were investigated experimentally and theoretically. It turns out that the signal from a Fabry-Perot interferometer can be used as an autocorrelator signal. This autocorrelator provides more compact setup with a much easier alignment than a conventional autocorrelator based on a Michelson interferometer.

Correlation functions are nowadays routinely computed using time-tagged photon information instead of a hardware autocorrelator. The algorithm developed by Laurence et al. [Opt.

Color Doppler echocardiography enables visualization of blood flow within the heart. However, the limited frame rate impedes the quantitative assessment of blood velocity throughout the cardiac cycle, thereby compromising a comprehensive analysis of ventricular filling. Concurrently, deep learning is demonstrating promising outcomes in post-processing of echocardiographic data for various applications.

The principle is based in the superposition of multiple pulses, which requires two partially reflecting flat surfaces in parallel, resulting in a simple and compact autocorrelator design. The autocorrelation trace obtained exhibits a typical double-scaled structure for noise-like pulses (NLPs), with an ultrashort coherence spur on the order of 100 fs riding upon a broad pedestal of 120 ps.

With unique electronic and optical attributes and dangling-bond-free surface, two-dimensional (2D) materials have broadened the functionalities of photodetectors. Here, we report a quadratically nonlinear photodetector (QNPD) composed of a van der Waals (vdW) stacked GaSe/InSe heterostructure. Compared with the reported 2D material-based photodetectors, the extra second-harmonic generation (SHG) process in GaSe/InSe leads to the quadratically nonlinear function between photocurrent and optical intensity, extending the photodetection wavelength from 900 to 1750 nm.

Conventional terahertz (THz) waveform or spectral diagnostics mainly employ the electro-optic-based techniques or the multi-shot Michelson interferometer. Simultaneously, single-shot, ultrabroadband THz spectral measurements remain challenging. In this paper, a novel probe-free scheme based on the non-collinear autocorrelation technique is proposed to characterize the ultrabroadband THz spectrum at a single-shot mode.
