Figure 4

(a) SSI interferogram measured with the quartz plate and the quarter-waveplate set to θz = θp = 0 and when only the (b) vertically or (c) horizontally polarized reference pulse were introduced. (d) Temporal evolution of the polarization state of the signal pulse reconstructed from the amplitude and phase of the field components shown in (e) spectral and (f) temporal domain. (g) Temporal evolution of the retrieved polarization ellipse parameters that describe the temporal polarization state shown in (d).
