F.Samson, Jean-SebastienHua, WeiHuang, ZishuaiChen, XiangkeAllen, Heather C.Roke, Sylvie2012-06-252012-06-252012-06-25201110.1063/1.3662469https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/82323WOS:000298250600041We present a direct comparison of phase sensitive sum-frequency generation experiments with phase reconstruction obtained by the maximum entropy method. We show that both methods lead to the same complex spectrum. Furthermore, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each of these methods, analyzing possible sources of experimental and analytical errors.
