摘要
A white-light Michelson interferometer in the visible and near infrared regions is described which can obtain the cross-correlation interferogram between the incident light and the transmitted light through samples or optical components. By comparing the autocorrelation interferogram of the incident white light with the cross-correlation interferogram between the incident light and the transmitted Light, we can obtain linear response functions of samples or optical components with femtosecond time resolution. Fourier analysis of the interferograms gives also the complex optical constants of the samples without relying on the Kramers-Kronig relation. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
