Arguably the best known example of quantum interference was demonstrated by Hong, Ou and Mandel 7 (HOM); their interferometer is depicted in Fig. 1a. HOM interference is central to optical quantum ...

Researchers demonstrate highly chirped pulses created by a using a spectral filter in a Kerr resonator, enabling them to widen a laser pulse wavefront by separating the beam's colors. The chirped ...

Physicists in Sweden have come up with a new way of accelerating ions using intense laser pulses. The technique – which has not yet been tested in the lab – involves bouncing “chirped” pulses from a ...

Researchers led by Prof. Tianye Huang at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), China, are interested in the passive Kerr-resonators-based dissipative cavity solitons. The pulsed driving is an ...

Using laser pulses of a few tens of femtoseconds, chemists can study the motion of atoms during chemical reactions and biologists can witness the earliest steps in natural processes, such as ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.220046 discusses table-top optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers. The invention of Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) ...

Mentor: Burcin Bayram, Ph.D. A chirped pulse is a short optical or electromagnetic pulse in which the frequency and phase change over time. The use of chirped laser pulses, where the laser frequency ...

A pulse in which the wavelength changes during the duration of the pulse. In a diode laser, chirp arises from direct modulation of the laser, because the refractive index changes with the electron ...
