Airy wave packets accelerating in space-time
Although diffractive spreading is an unavoidable feature of all wave phenomena, certain waveforms can attain propagation-invariance. A lesser-explored strategy for achieving optical selfsimilar propagation exploits the modification of the spatio-temporal field structure when observed in reference frames moving at relativistic speeds. For such an observer, it is predicted that the associated Lor...
متن کاملTime-reversal-symmetric single-photon wave packets for free-space quantum communication.
Readout and retrieval processes are proposed for efficient, high-fidelity quantum state transfer between a matter qubit, encoded in the level structure of a single atom or ion, and a photonic qubit, encoded in a time-reversal-symmetric single-photon wave packet. They are based on controlling spontaneous photon emission and absorption of a matter qubit on demand in free space by stimulated Raman...
متن کاملFree-space electro-optics sampling of mid-infrared pulses
Despite the rapid advance of terahertz optoelectronics in the recent decade, the frequency region above 10 THz has yet been accessible for coherent detection. Whereas Katzenllenbogen et al. reported a frequency response of 6 THz from their photoconducting dipole antenna ~PDA!, the record was recently pushed to 7 THz with a much broader 3-dB bandwidth in a GaP-based free-space electro-optic samp...
متن کاملThe evolution of free wave packets
We discuss four general features of the force-free evolution of wave packets: 1 The spatial spread of a packet changes with time in a simple way. 2 For sufficiently short durations related to the spread in the momentum of the packet the probability distribution will move with uniform speed and little change in shape. 3 After a sufficiently long time related to the initial spatial spread the wav...
متن کاملDiffraction using laser-driven broadband electron wave packets.
Directly monitoring atomic motion during a molecular transformation with atomic-scale spatio-temporal resolution is a frontier of ultrafast optical science and physical chemistry. Here we provide the foundation for a new imaging method, fixed-angle broadband laser-induced electron scattering, based on structural retrieval by direct one-dimensional Fourier transform of a photoelectron energy dis...
