The propagation of high-power femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) is investigated experimentally and theoretically in collinear pump-probe transmission experiments. It is found within a wide intensity range that a strong decrease ...
This article provides insight into the various factors by which electroneg. substituents affect the kinetic acidity of arenes and, more specifically, naphthalenes. Both 1- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalenes were consecutively treated with an organometalli ...
Several new results and opportunities for ultrafast x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) are demonstrated. It is possible to work with highly dil. solns. in transmission mode without dramatic loss of signal-to-noise ratio. This is very promising as one can ...
We have observed the filamentation of optical pulses in carbon disulfide(CS2) using femtosecond time-resolved optical polarigraphy(FTOP)1. A pump-probe setup is used to capture the propagation of a 150 femtosecond laser pulse in CS2. The probe pulse propag ...
The nonlinear dynamics of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities is treated within a model of interacting bosons for the signal, pump, and idler modes. The correlations between all three polariton modes are taken into account in the lowest order ...
The optical speed-up at transparency principle has been successfully applied to a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier yielding a remarkable acceleration in the gain recovery of the device as well as to the disappearance of the typical relaxation o ...
An electrically tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser was analyzed. LC tuning of the PC laser was demonstrated by recording the lasing wavelength as a function of the voltage applied across the LC cell. The PC laser betw ...
A 3D imager is presented capable of capturing the depth map of an arbitrary scene. Depth is measured by computing the time-of-flight of a ray of light as it leaves the source and is reflected by the objects in the scene. The round-trip time is converted to ...
We demonstrate an electrically-tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser. The PC laser is encased between two transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plates which serve as the modulating electrodes and also define the LC ce ...
Self-assembled quantum-dots (QDs) represent a distributed ensemble of zero dimensional structures with a near-singular density of states. Implemented as the active medium in a diode laser their unique properties lead to improved and often novel characteris ...
