We extend to the ultraviolet frequency-resolved optical gating a new method for measuring the intensity and phase evolution of an individual ultrashort pulse without assumption. Using frequency-resolved optical gating, we measure a 310-fs, 308-nm pulse, whose phase is approximately cubic in time. We show that this phase distortion probably results from self-phase modulation and amplifier detuning.
