This script simulates an electromagnetic pulse, a spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field reconstruction (SPIDER) measurement and reconstruction and compares it to the true electric field in time in the presence of noise (additive, multiplicative, quantative and in the delay).

Play about with different values of the noise, different pulse parameters and compare the different reconstruction algorithms.

Remember to change the filter to extract the complete sideband if you change the pulse to be measured.
