A scheme adopted in the invention is characterized in that an ultrashort pulse emitted by a femtosecond light source vertically incident to a birefringence crystal along a normal, and is divided into two pulses with mutually vertical polarization and certain pulse interval. The two linear polarization pulses go through a 1/4 wave plate in order to convert polarization into circular polarization, a first pulse is pumped, and a reflector is arranged behind to return the optical path according to an original direction. The returned pulses sequentially go through the 1/4 wave plate, the birefringence crystal and a Polaroid, and is interfered, and pumping information is fixed in interference fringe, and is received by CCD. The method has the advantages of simplicity, easy implementation, elimination of various errors caused by non-coaxial optical paths, and strong operability.
