In this paper, we describe a scheme for rapidly introducing a periodic linear time delay to a train of picosecond laser pulses. Finally, by incorporating this scheme in one arm of the Michelson interferometer of a conventional autocorrelator, the second order intensity autocorrelation function of a cw train of picosecond pulses is continuously displayed on an oscilloscope.
