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:
“If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
