Abstract :
In this paper we have demonstrated the femtosecond laser pulses propagating through a dispersion prism and generating by an integrated array illuminator using light-in-flight recording by holography. The temporal and spatial behaviors of such femtosecond laser pulses in the prism and from the array illuminator were clearly observed. This technology achieves a temporal microscope with more than 109 magnification and will open the possibility for observing various ultrafast phenomena
