Measuring the spatio-temporal electric field of tightly focused ultrashort pulses

We demonstrate a spectral interferometer with NSOM probes for measuring focusing ultrashort pulses with high spatial and temporal resolution. We measure a 0.26 NA focus and, for the first time, we observe the forerunner pulse.
