Abstract

In a method for influencing and measuring pulsed electromagnetic illumination, e.g. parallel laser light (L), said illumination or light can be spatially divided, in particular, in an autocorrelator comprising a beam receptor ( ), can be recombined behind said beam receptor by a superposition or focusing device ( or ) and can be detected in the recombinant area by a detector ( ). As the transmission system ( ), the beam receptor comprises beam profile dividers in a penetrable housing ( ), in the form of at least two transmission parts ( ), with or in which separate, preferably parallel component beams (S, T) can be modified in their time-based beam characteristics, before being recombined. The inventive beam receptor ( ) preferably has at least a two-part mirror ( ), plate ( ), chamber or crystal system ( ) comprising a beam profile divider ( ) which creates or leaves unchanged a base component beam (S), whilst the time-based characteristics of this or every other component beam (T) in a neighbouring beam profile divider ( ) can be controlled in a different manner, in order to effect, in particular, reflection or transmission delays and/or changes to the optical paths.
