Alternative Techniques
- Frequency-resolved optical gating
- Streak camera - not a significant competitor. Streak cameras have picosecond response times.
- Spatially Encoded Arrangement for SPIDER (For measuring few-cycle optical pulses.
- MIIPS Multiphoton Intrapulse Interference Phase Scan, a method to characterize and manipulate the ultrashort pulse.

Famous quotes containing the words alternative and/or techniques:
“No alternative to the
one-man path.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
