  "term": "Autocorrelator",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An instrument used to measure the autocorrelation function of a signal, particularly in optics to determine the pulse duration of ultrashort laser pulses. It splits a pulse into two replicas, introduces a variable time delay between them, and then measures their overlap. This technique provides information about the temporal characteristics of the pulse.",
