	~~==Description==~~
	~~In an [[interferometry\|interferometric]] autocorrelator, the input beam~~ is ~~split into~~ a ~~fixed path beam~~ and ~~a variable path beam using a standard beamsplitter. The fixed path beam travels a known~~ and ~~constant distance, whereas the variable path beam has its path length changed via rotating mirrors or other path changing mechanisms~~. ~~At the end~~ of the two paths, the beams are ideally parallel, but slightly separated, and using a correctly positioned lens, the two beams are crossed inside a [[Second harmonic generation\|second harmonic generating (SHG)]] crystal. ~~The autocorrelation term of the output is then passed into a [[photomultiplier\|photomultiplying tube (PMT)]] and measured~~.

	~~===Details===~~
	~~Considering the input beam as a single pulse with envelope~~ <~~math~~>~~E\left( t \right )~~<~~/math~~>~~, the constant fixed path distance as <math>D_F</math>, and the variable path distance as a function of time <math>D_V \left ( t \right )</math>, the input to the SHG can be viewed as~~
	:~~<math>E\left(t-D_F/c\right) + E\left(t-D_V\left(t\right)~~/~~c\right)<~~/~~math>~~
	~~This comes from <math>c</math> being the speed of light and <math>D/c</math> being the time for the beam to travel the given path~~. ~~In general, SHG produces output proportional to the square of the input, which in this case is~~
	~~:<math>E^2\left(t-D_F/c\right)+E^2\left(t-D_V\left(t\right)/c\right)+2E\left(t-D_F/c\right)E\left(t-D_V\left(t\right)/c\right)</math>~~
	~~The first two terms are based only on the fixed and variable paths respectively, but the third term is based on the difference between them, as is evident in~~
	:<math>E^2\left(t^{'} \right)+E^2\left(t^{'} -A\left(t\right)\right)+2E\left(t^{'} \right)E\left(t^{'} -A\left(t\right)\right) \, \mbox{ where } \, A\left(t\right)=\left(D_V\left(t\right)-D_F\right)/c \, \mbox{ and } \, t^{'} = t-D_F/c</math>
	~~The PMT used is assumed to be much slower than the envelope function <math>E\left(t\right)<~~/~~math>, so it effectively integrates the incoming signal~~

	Since both the fixed path and variable path terms are not dependent on each other, they would constitute a background "noise" in examination of the autocorrelation term and would ideally be removed first. This can be accomplished by examining the momentum vectors
