19. We note that the positive time delay in the autocorrelation is slightly larger than the negative one, which results in the appearance of one additional pulse on the positive side. The leading and trailing edges of the pulses at the two extremes of the autocorrelation trace are hacked owing to the finite extension of rotating mirrors.
