Less Complex Approach to Laser Pulse Measurement Provides Precise Information

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
VIENNA, Jan. 31, 2020 — Until now, a complex experimental setup was required to measure the shape of a laser lightwave with a high degree of accuracy. This measurement can now be done using a small crystal with a diameter of less than 1 mm. The new method, developed by scientists at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Quantum Optics, Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), and the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), uses extremely short pulses, with a duration in the order of femtoseconds. “In order to create an image of such lightwaves, they must be made to interact with electrons,” professor...Read full article

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    nonlinear optics
    Nonlinear optics is a branch of optics that studies the optical phenomena that occur when intense light interacts with a material and induces nonlinear responses. In contrast to linear optics, where the response of a material is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light, nonlinear optics involves optical effects that are not linearly dependent on the input light intensity. These nonlinear effects become significant at high light intensities, such as those produced by...
