Concepts for the Temporal Characterization of Short Optical Pulses

<p/> <p>Methods for the characterization of the time-dependent electric field of short optical pulses are reviewed. The representation of these pulses in terms of correlation functions and time-frequency distributions is discussed, and the strategies for their characterization are explai...
