Techniques for temporal contrast enhancement and phase characterisation of ultra-short laser pulses

This thesis describes methods for temporal contrast enhancement and phase characterisation of ultra-short laser pulses using nonlinear optical processes. Ultra-short laser pulses generated using the chirped-pulse amplification technique usually have unwanted emission that precedes and follows the ma...
