Abstract

This paper adopts cylinder lens to improve the ability of pulse contrast measurement based on a pulse replicator. Cylinder lens were used to generate linear beam to get a temporal window in auto-correlation and cross correlation. Now they are introduced into a pulse replicator to obtain continuous temporal range. It is analyzed that some parameters need to satisfy a relationship for the window´s continuer. This provides a useful reference to next experiment.
