Figure 2
Phase dependence of the spectrum analyzer output. (Top) Peak intensities of the first seven harmonics versus time delay Δt, plotted with a best-fit sine wave; curves are offset for clarity. Note that the peak of the fundamental is offset from zero by ∼0.8 ns, with rapidly decreasing offsets for the higher harmonics, due to the long tails of the detector pulses in the time domain (see text). (Bottom) Expanded plot of the 91st harmonic. The best-fit curve determines the coincidence time to better than 1 ps precision; curves shifted by ±5 ps are shown for comparison. |
