“…This would make TURTLE applicable to V-OAW, however, it is subject to significant data redundancy, time-consuming iteration, probable sign ambiguity of τ xy and θ [in the event of |A x (ω)| = |A y (ω)| and φ x (ω) = φ y (ω)] [19] and has not been experimentally demonstrated in measuring vectorial ultrashort pulse or V-OAW. In our earlier demonstration of vectorial temporal Talbot effect [1], φ x (ω), φ y (ω), τ xy and θ were individually measured by optimizing the second-harmonic yields with a pulse shaper, dual quadrature spectral interferometry (DQ-SI), and monochromatic phase-scanning interferometry, respectively (please refer to Section 3.1). The 4-step approach may not be practically useful because of its high complexity, slow data acquisition, and the requirement of a well-characterized optical reference with interferometric stability.…”
