… It was found that the initial pulses in the train were of the shortest duration and that the pulse
width increased from several picoseconds to about 15 picoseconds over the length of the …

… birefnngence mduced by the pulses propagating along an electro-optic transmission line
illu… of ultrashort optical pulses is a potentially useful method2 for generating electrical pulses …

… of optical pulses using a temporal optical system. A diffraction grating pair followed by a
microwave-driven, optical … lens is used to uniquely map the pulse shape from the time domain to …

… a novel pulse-compression scheme that can be used to compress weak picosecond
pulses having energies as small as 0.1 pJ. The basic idea is to amplify such pulses in a …

… Because the minimal energy necessary to generate optical breakdown is of central
importance, we determined the threshold energies for nanosecond and picosecond pulses. The …

… We demonstrate that the use of picosecond laser pulses significantly … of optical breakdown
with a significant reduction in pulse energy. Our results demonstrate that picosecond pulse …

… optical pulses on diffraction through apertures. The third section discusses deterministic
pulse shaping by interaction with filters and modulators in terms of temporally coherent optics. …

… pulse, it might be possible to approach a switching time of order of several ps, comparable to
the hot-electron traversal and relaxation times. With such fast pulses… a 150 ps optical pulse …

… for the coherent spectral encoding and decoding of picosecond optical pulses. Elementary
coding and decoding experiments with picosecond pulses by use of superstructured FBG …

… Rfeasurements have been made of the spectra of pulses generated in KDP a,nd LiNbO, by
a train of picosecond pulses produced by a mode-locked Nd : glass laser. The laser that was …
