We present a spectral phase measurement and correction method utilizing a pulse shaper. Positive and negative π/2 spectral phase steps are scanned across the spectrum of the pulse while collecting second harmonic spectra. Second and third order phase distortions show characteristic features in the difference between the spectra. Computer simulations show the amplitude and sign of these features quantitatively determine the magnitude and sign of the second and third order dispersion with milliradian accuracy. Experimental dispersion measurements are benchmarked by measuring the group velocity dispersion of air as well as fused silica windows.
