FROG has produced some of the most beautiful pictures our field
has seen. As a result, we've decided to devote a portion of our
web site to a FROG gallery. So please enjoy the images and
movies here and read the explanations, noting that these images
are all scientifically quite significant. Once you're suitably
inspired by this confluence of science and art, you may wish to
go into the lab and generate some of your own. If you do,
please submit them, and we'll include them in our gallery. Who
knows, maybe someday the Smithsonian may decide to do a show on
your images!"
SHG FROG traces (and retrieved intensities and phases) of
1.55-micron fiber-laser pulses compressed in dispersion-decreasing
fiber and then dispersed in SMF-28 with varying intensity. Traces
taken by Fredrik Fatemi, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC
and published in Opt. Lett. 2002. (Note that delay is vertical
here, and the phase convention is opposite to that of the FROG
code.)
