We present a method to capture in real-time the full-field of broadband complex optical pulses such as soliton fission induced by noise-seeded modulation instability. The proposed real-time measurement technique is based on Fourier Transform spectral interferometry using as reference a broadband pulse. A stretched phase-stable reference field generated via self-phase modulation is combined with the test field and the resulting spectral interference is measured in real-time with high dynamic range. The full field is then reconstructed from post-processing with 20 fs resolution and over a time window of 20 ps. Experimental results are in very good agreement with numerical simulations.
