Abstract
We demonstrate a use case for the ENZ region of transparent conducting oxides as a means for compact and phase-matching free pulse characterization for near-infrared beams. We leverage a ‘temporal knife edge’, generated by an off-axis pump to extract the spatial shape and pulse width information of a Gaussian beam using a quadrant cell detector. Operating within the ENZ region enables the use of sub-micron thick films and moderate optical fluences (1-10 GW/cm2) compared to conventional bulk dielectrics or crystals, for compact pulse characterization systems.
