Resumen
[EN]The growing use of ultrashort laser pulses exhibiting
time-varying polarization (vector pulses) demands simple and
robust characterization techniques capable to perform
measurements in a broad range of experimental and
environmental conditions. Here we present in-line, single-channel
setup based on spectral interferometry to characterize ultrashort
vector pulses. The use of a bulk interferometer based on
birefringence is key for the stability and sensitivity of the
technique, thus being simple and highly robust. The technique is
used to measure vector pulses corresponding to polarization gates,
which are used in many applications. Those results are validated
by simulations. The technique here presented has a number of
potential applications in nonlinear effects (e.g. transient
birefringence and nonlinear phenomena with vector pulses).
