Popis: In present paper we demonstrated an improved technique for characterization of ultra-short pulse duration (PD) based on second harmonic generation (SHG). We utilized Yb- doped fiber laser with picosecond duration of pulses as implementation of proposed technique and for estimating the accuracy of pulse duration measurement. KTiOPO4 crystal was used for the purpose of second harmonic generation. We determined the duration of laser pulses by analysing the combination of signal intensities on input and output of SHG crystal. We observed experimentally error of pulse duration measurement less then 2%. We showed strong dependence between the average power of SHG and the duration of picosecond pulses.
