Ultrashort vector pulses exhibit time- and frequency-dependent polarization, sparking significant interest across various fields. Simple, robust, and versatile characterization techniques are crucial to meet this rising demand. Our study showcases how complete polarization dynamics are encoded within a single amplitude swing trace, demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. We have developed a reconstruction strategy to effectively extract all this information. The amplitude swing technique's sensitivity to vector pulses offers a robust, compact in-line setup adaptable across diverse pulse bandwidths, durations, and spectral ranges. This self-referenced method offers effective measurement of ultrashort vector pulses, addressing the growing interest in these complex pulses.
