摘要:
对于超短激光脉冲,精确表征其时域特性(脉宽和相位)对其产生和应用都至关重要。自参考光谱干涉法,于2010年首次提出,该方法利用待测光自身通过三阶非线性光学过程产生测量所需的合适参考光,并借助傅里叶变换光谱干涉算法解析重建光谱相位,具有单发、准确、灵敏度高等优势。本文对该方法的实现光路和重建算法两条主线进行了综述。在光路层面,从最早提出的基于交叉偏振波产生的自参考光谱干涉法(XPW-SRSI),到基于瞬态光栅效应的自参考光谱干涉法(TG-SRSI)全反射紧凑构型,对实现光路的灵敏度、波段覆盖与紧凑性三个维度进行了不断迭代升级。在算法层面,从针对于近傅里叶转换极限的脉冲重建方法,到针对时域展宽超过傅里叶变换极限两倍的大啁啾脉冲重建算法,进行了三条演进路线论述:光谱拼接方案,引入监督深度学习的重建方案,以及嵌入物理正向模型的无需训练神经网络;后者在无需任何预训练数据集的条件下,实现了大啁啾与高噪声场景下的单次准确重建。面对不断涌现的新型光束表征需求,超短激光脉冲的时域测量在未来仍需要备受重视。
Abstract:For ultrashort laser pulses, accurately characterizing their temporal characteristics (temporal width and phase) is crucial for their generation and application. Self-referenced spectral interferometry (SRSI), first proposed in 2010, utilizes the measured light itself to generate suitable reference light through third-order nonlinear optical processes, and employs Fourier transform spectral interferometry algorithms to reconstruct the input pulse. It has the advantages of single-shot, accuracy, and high sensitivity. This article provides an overview of the implementation of SRSI from two main aspects: the optical path and the reconstruction algorithm. On the optical path level, from the earliest proposed self-referenced spectral interferometry based on cross-polarization wave generation (XPW-SRSI) to the self-referenced spectral interferometry based on transient grating effect (TG-SRSI) with a compact total reflection configuration, the sensitivity, wavelength coverage, and compactness of the implementation path have been continuously iteratively upgraded. On the algorithm level, from pulse reconstruction methods targeting near Fourier transform limits to reconstruction algorithms for large chirp pulses with temporal broadening exceeding twice the Fourier transform limit, three evolutionary paths are discussed: spectral stitching schemes, reconstruction schemes incorporating supervised deep learning, and neural networks without training embedded in physical forward models. The latter achieves single-shot accurate reconstruction in large chirp and high noise scenarios without any pre-training dataset. In the face of emerging new beam characterization demands, the temporal measurement of ultrashort laser pulses still require significant attention in the future.

Figure 1. Schematic comparison of traditional spectral interferometry (SI) and self-referenced spectral interferometry (SRSI). (a) Optical setup of conventional SI. One beam serves as the reference pulse (provided by an external independent source), and the other is the unknown pulse. After passing through an adjustable delay line, it is combined with the reference pulse and directed into a spectrometer to generate interference fringes. (b) Optical setup of SRSI. A small portion of the unknown pulse generates a self-referenced pulse via a third-order nonlinear process, which acts as the reference pulse. The remaining part is delayed, combined with the reference pulse, and sent into the spectrometer, forming spectral interference fringes that carry phase information.

$ {\varphi }_{\text{diff}}\left(\omega \right) $ ,随后在每次迭代中利用非线性过程(如交叉偏振波产生)从当前待测脉冲$ {E}_{u}\left(t\right) $ 构造参考脉冲$ {E}_{r}\left(t\right) $ ,并提取其频谱相位$ {\varphi }_{r}\left(\omega \right) $ 。更新后的相位$ {\varphi }_{i+1}\left(\omega \right) $ 为$ {\varphi }_{\text{diff}}\left(\omega \right)+{\varphi }_{r}\left(\omega \right) $ ,用于下一轮迭代。Figure 5. Flowchart of the iterative phase retrieval algorithm in SRSI. The algorithm iteratively updates the spectral phase of the unknown pulse until convergence. The initial phase is set to the phase difference
$ {\varphi }_{\text{diff}}\left(\omega \right) $ obtained from Fourier transform spectral interferometry. In each iteration, a reference pulse$ {E}_{r}\left(t\right) $ is generated from the current unknown pulse$ {E}_{u}\left(t\right) $ via a nonlinear process (e.g., cross-polarized wave generation), and its spectral phase$ {\varphi }_{r}\left(\omega \right) $ is extracted. The updated phase$ {\varphi }_{i+1}\left(\omega \right) $ is$ {\varphi }_{\text{diff}}\left(\omega \right)+{\varphi }_{r}\left(\omega \right) $ for the next iteration.图 6 用于 800 nm 脉冲测量的SD-SRSI实验装置图。VND,可变中性密度滤光片;BS1、BS2、BS3,厚度为 1 mm 的50/50分束镜;SM1,曲率半径R=−700 mm的球面反射镜;FS,厚度为0.1 mm的熔融石英玻璃片;ND,中性密度滤光片;SM2,曲率半R=−
