Abstract
Ultrafast imaging techniques involving light propagation, which can record light-pulse propagation as a motion picture, are commonly applied in various fields. However, conventional ultrafast imaging techniques cannot obtain multiple motion- pictures with an ultrashort time difference. In this Letter, we propose an imaging technique to obtain double motion-pictures of propagating light pulses with an ultrashort time difference. To record double motion-pictures of propagating light pulses without superposition of the motion pictures, we employ a space-division multiplexing technique for recording holograms. Also, we construct and introduce an optical delay setup for generating light pulses with an ultrashort time difference. In the experimental demonstration of the proposed technique, we observe the first and second light propagations for a duration of 6.9 ps with a 1.78-ps time difference.
