Triple optical autocorrelation of femtosecond optical pulses was realized simply with third-harmonic-generation technique. This optical technique provides complete knowledge of transient pulse intensity variation directly in time domain. Only analytic calculation is needed to obtain the pulse-shape from data without direction-of-time ambiguity. Combined with a spectral measurement and the Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm, except for pulses with complete temporal and spectral symmetry that will cause a twofold ambiguity, exact phase variation in time can also be retrieved through an iterative calculation with an O(n) complexity.
