Hi,
What is the equation for a E field of a single pulse of a laser?
If that laser is shined onto say a grating spectroscope (square law detector), how can I go about deriving an expression for Intensity as a function of frequency at the output of the spectroscope?
I know that the square law detector will measure Energy which is the square of the E field (and some proportionality factor that I don't know).
I also know Intensity equation, I = 1/2 Epsilon * c * E^2 where Epsilon is the permittivity in vacuum. But that doesn't seem to apply here since it has no dependence on frequency.
Any help is much appreciated.
