Ultrakorta laserpulser, som är kortare än en miljondels miljondels sekund, har förändrat grundläggande vetenskap, teknik och medicin. Trots detta har deras ultrakorta varaktighet gjort dem svårfångade och svåra att mäta. För ungefär tio år sedan introducerade forskare från Lunds universitet och Portos universitet ett verktyg för att mäta pulsvaraktigheten hos ultrasnabba lasrar. Samma team har nu
