This paper presents a second harmonic assisted spectrally resolved interferometric technique that can overcome the limited spectral resolution of commercially available spectrometers in the mid-infrared. The discussed scheme was validated by measuring the group delay of several well-known and frequently used materials. Our main motivation was to characterize the spectral phase shift of newly designed and manufactured dispersive mirrors to be used for mid-infrared (MIR) post-compression. These mirrors were successfully implemented in the post-compression stage of our MIR laser system, where pulse duration was shortened below two optical cycles and the pulse peak power increased by 30.3% compared to the original output.
