Current ultrashort laser technology makes it possible to generate pulses lasting a few tens of femtoseconds, with energies of up to tens of joules. Strongly focusing such pulses produces ultra-intense fields that are notably used to generate relativistic particle beams. Proper operation of ultra-intense laser facilities requires to control the temporal and spatial properties of ultrashort pulses. Until now, measurement devices used for this purpose have neglected an important aspect of ultrashort pulses structure, which is linked to spatio-temporal couplings. Spatio-temporal couplings are a particular kind of defects in ultrashort pulses, of which the influence on ultra-intense experiments has been largely overlooked until recently. The rar...
