Femtosecond single-shot timing and direct observation of subpulse formation in an infrared free-electron laser

We experimentally demonstrate a single-shot arrival time monitor for short picosecond infrared free-electron laser (IR FEL) pulses based on balanced optical cross-correlation with a synchronized fs table-top laser. Employing this timing tool at the Fritz Haber Institute IR FEL, we observe a shot-to-...
