Temporally resolved electro-optic effect.

The electro-optic effect between an ultrafast optical probe pulse and an ultrashort terahertz pulse is shown to depend on the time derivatives of the product of the probe and terahertz electric fields. Application of this theory to temporally resolved single-shot terahertz detection techniques, where the electro-optic effect is temporally localized within an optical probe pulse, shows that the ...

Comment on electro-optic effect and valence-band mixing in zinc-blende semiconductors

Reply to the Comment

In the comment [1], Zanardi and Rasetti argue that several claims in our recent letter [2] are questionable. Here we show these claims remain true. Our points are that (i) the Hamiltonian (1) in Ref. [2] describes amplitude damping as well as phase damping; (ii) the free-Hamiltonian-elimination (FHE) has feasible implementation in practice and there exists a simple FHE procedure which is design...

on " Disentangling residence time and temperature sensitivity of microbial decomposition in a global soil carbon model " The authors used a reduced complexity model (one pool soil decomposition with a temperature and moisture dependency) to study the sensitivity of the carbon stock projections to first order uncertainties. The relative contributions of decomposition (k) and temperature sensitiv...

Reply to Rachlin’s comment

The primary purpose of our article was to demonstrate unambiguously that matching does not necessarily follow from maximization of overall reinforcement rate, as appears to have been suggested by some writers. Evidently, Rachlin (1979) now accepts that as some slight contribution, since he raises the question, "But are there switching patterns for which matching and maximizing are the same?" wh...
