Abstract
An optical pulse measuring method measuring an optical pulse generated from a pulse light source is provided. The method includes: splitting the optical pulse and then focusing them at a measuring point, so as to generate gas plasma by the autocorrelation of the split optical pulses; receiving the sound signal from the gas plasma and generate a plasma sound signal; and using the plasma sound signal to calculate the characteristics of the optical pulse. A measuring device is also provided.
