11. The spectral bandwidth of our pulse shaper is limited to 100 THz because of the electronics driving the acousto-optic transducer. This value is much greater than the 10-THz bandwidth of our laser pulses and is therefore not detrimental to the measurement because the bandwidth is exactly centered on the laser's center frequency.
