We have analyzed both theoretically and experimentally the spectrum of the optical pulses produced by the interaction of optical and THz pulses in a ZnTe crystal. Recorded as a function of the delay between the two pulses, the resulting spectrogram can be viewed as a frequency resolved cross-correlation between the optical and THz pulses making it possible to characterize the optical pulse.
