title: Spatiotemporal characterization of ultrabroadband Airy pulses.
abstract: We present experimental results of a full spatiotemporal characterization of an optical system for ultrabroadband Airy pulse generation with a liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulator. Measurements with a few micrometer spatial and almost one-wave-cycle temporal resolution were performed using a white light spatial spectral interferometry setup based on the SEA TADPOLE ultrashort pulse characterization technique. The results were compared with the theoretical model for Airy pulse propagation.
