A time microscope (100× magnification) allows light pulses exiting an optical cavity to be viewed one at a time. A linearly chirped Gaussian pulse is mixed in a nonlinear crystal with the dispersed input waveform; the up‐converted light is sent onto an output dispersive network. The resulting temporal image is recorded both with a streak camera and with a spectrometer.
