    (a) SPIDER setup; (b) prism-based chirped-pulse-replicas generator (CG); (c) prism-based light path delayer (DL); (d) prism-based beam combiner (BC). BS1-BS3: beam splitters, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}/2$: half-wave plate, OPM: off-axis parabolic mirror, SP: spectrograph, RP1 and RP2: right-angle prism pair, CR1-CR4: prism-mirrors corner reflectors, PMR1-PMR4: prism-mirrors reflectors, L: lens.
    (a) The reconstructed spectral phases by CTP-SPIDER (black line) and T-SPIDER using different filtering windows with width twin of 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 ps (red, blue and green lines) for the reference spectrum. (b) The temporal shapes and phases corresponding to (a).
    Recovered temporal intensity and phases for different pulse delays from 0.125 to 0.69 ps. The corresponding shear $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}=0.5$ nm (0.95 THz). Inset: amplitudes of $\tilde{D}(t)$ and $\tilde{D}^{\text{TSPS}}(t)$ for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}=0.125$ ps.
    Restore spectral phases by using different sampling resolutions of the interferograms for (a) $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}=1$ ps and (b) 0.3 ps when $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}=0.5$ nm (0.95 THz).
    The measured phase errors by T-SPIDER (blue line) and CTP-SPIDER (red line).
    (a) The recovered spectral phases and (b) the temporal characteristics of the laser pulses for different shears from 0.1 to 1.0 nm at $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}=0.43$ ps.
    The measured pulses by three kinds of SPIDER in small shear: (a) 0.1 nm, (b) 0.25 nm, and (c) 0.35 nm.
    Measured results of complex spectra by inducing Kerr effect.
