microscopy of Femtosecond Time-resolved Optical Polarigraphy (FTOP). Both super-and
subluminal translation of axial intensity maxima in a 100fs time scale has been directly
recorded. The observed spatio-temporal periodicity of the pulse shape in longitudinal and
transversal directions is tentatively interpreted as two projections on X and Y axes of the
same fringe pattern formed by the interference of the axial part of the beam and …
