We have developed a multichannel crosscorrelator (MCCC) for single-shot measurements of the temporal contrast in a high-power laser system. The MCCC is based on third-order crosscorrelation, and has four channels and independent optical delay lines. We have experimentally demonstrated that the MCCC system achieves a high dynamic range of >10^12 and a large temporal window of >1 ns. Moreover, we were able to measure the shot-to-shot fluctuations of a short prepulse intensity at -26 ps and long-pulse (amplified spontaneous emission, ASE) intensities at -30, -450, and -950 ps before the arrival of the main pulse at the interaction point.}, pages = {012701-1--012701-6}, title = {High-dynamic-range cross-correlator for shot-to-shot measurement of temporal contrast}, volume = {56}, year = {2017} }
