A femtosecond pulse characterization technique is developed using frequency-resolved optical gating based on the two-photon absorption in an InP crystal.The technique provides direct visual monitoring of pulse frequency chirping in the time-spectral domain for femtosecond pulses with a pulse energy as low as 3.8 pJ.Pulse chirping and pedestal wings of 10-GHz optical fiber solitons are characterized experimentally for the first time by this technique.
