Abstract

We illustrate observation and characterization of medium- and low-intensity shaped ultrashort pulses at $\lambda =1.55 \mathit{\mu }\mathrm{m}$ through single-shot geometry (multishot-average) second-harmonic generation–frequency-resolved optical gating. The pulses are shaped by amplitude filters in the Fourier plane of a compact folded shaper. Sensitivity to pulses with energies of less than 20 pJ and high dynamic range is reported for this configuration. Application of this method to the propagation of $\sim 170‐\mathrm{fs}$ pulses through a 50-m fiber link is also illustrated.
