    Abstract: A circuit and method for timing-tolerant optical pulse energy electrical conversion receives a current pulse stream converted from an input optical pulse stream (which may be periodic or nonperiodic), converts the current pulse stream to an electrical waveform of voltage pulses and detects each voltage pulse, e.g., by its leading edge. The conversion circuit may include a divider circuit for receiving the electrical waveform, dividing the waveform into a multi-channel output of divided electrical waveforms, and sequential logic circuits for adjusting a width window of each voltage pulse according to an adjustable delay.

    Abstract: An optical pulse measuring method measuring an optical pulse generated from a pulse light source is provided. The method includes: splitting the optical pulse and then focusing them at a measuring point, so as to generate gas plasma by the autocorrelation of the split optical pulses; receiving the sound signal from the gas plasma and generate a plasma sound signal; and using the plasma sound signal to calculate the characteristics of the optical pulse. A measuring device is also provided.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for in-line measurement of laser pulses with time-dependent polarization are described, which make possible to carry out in-line measurement of laser pulses whose polarization depends on time. For this, one or more polarization projections are selected: the spectrometer detects the projection on the extraordinary propagation axis of a birefringent system to measure the spectrum in that component, also the projection on the ordinary propagation axis, to measure the spectrum in that component, and finally a projection in an intermediate direction that allows to measure the interference spectrum between the two components. The method allows extracting the temporal evolution of the pulse and its polarization state as a function of time, spectral amplitudes and phases of the various polarization projections of the beam.
