Transformation from an ultrashort pulse to a spatiotemporal speckle by a thin scattering surface.
We have theoretically and experimentally studied the local temporal and spectral characteristics of an ultrashort pulse passing a simple thin diffusive element. We show that as one moves away from the diffuser the pulse evolves into a spatiotemporal speckle.
