Spatiotemporal and polarization full characterization of complex ultrafast beams

Over the past decades, the use of ultrafast laser beams at a highly varied range of applications (e.g., biophotonics, material science, telecommunications, physics, chemistry, etc.) has evolved, demanding more complex light structures not only in time (i.e., ultrafast pulses), but also spatiotemporally and in polarization (e.g., vector beams, time evolving polarization pulses). Therefore, the characterization of such complex structured beams has become a hot topic nowadays.
