Alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (AC-TFEL) devices already occupy a segment of the large-area, high-resolution, flat-panel-display market. The AC-TFEL displays, which consist of a phosphor layer, such as manganese doped-zinc sulfide (ZnS:Mn), vertically sandwiched between two insulators that are contacted by electrodes, are robust, possess long lifetimes, and offer high luminanc...

Roadmap on ultrafast optics

The year 2015 marked the 25th anniversary of modern ultrafast optics, since the demonstration of the first Kerr lens modelocked Ti:sapphire laser in 1990 [a] heralded an explosion of scientific and engineering innovation. The impact of this disruptive technology extended well beyond the previous discipline boundaries of lasers, reaching into biology labs, manufacturing facilities, and even cons...

Ultrafast Time-domain Optics

ticle provides a foundation for appreciating some of the key issues that arise in the computational aspects of ultrafast time-domain optics. Because temporal dispersion exists in all materials, it is fundamental to describing the optical field in material bodies when the field is pulsed, especially when the pulse is either ultrashort or ultrawideband. Temporal dispersion implies that the materi...

Optics, Lasers, and Quantum Electronics

A possibility of the two-photon excitation of an isomeric state in a nucleus of thorium-229 has been discussed. The fluorescence intensity of the excitation is demonstrated to be identical for the irradiation of nuclei with either monochromatic light or polychromatic radiation consisting of a sequence of short light pulses of the same intensity. The two-photon excitation of Th3+ ion in an elect...
