چکیده

Simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing pulses are created using parametric pulse shaping and characterized with scanning SEA TADPOLE. Multiple foci are created with optically-controlled longitudal and transverse spatial positions. The characterized foci are in agreement with the predictions of a Fourier optics model. The measurements reveal significant pulse front tilt resulting from the simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing optics.

Creating Multiple Longitudinal Foci With Parametric Spatio- Temporal Focusing

ABSTRACT Multiple foci are created along the propagation direction of a laser beam using simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing of an ultrafast laser pulse in conjunction with parametric pulse shaping. The pulses are characterized with scanning SEA TADPOLE. The longitudinal and transverse positions of the foci are controlled using phase and amplitude shaping in a 4-f laser pulse shaping sys...

Evaluation of Tests for Separability and Symmetry of Spatio-temporal Covariance Function

In recent years, some investigations have been carried out to examine the assumptions like stationarity, symmetry and separability of spatio-temporal covariance function which would considerably simplify fitting a valid covariance model to the data by parametric and nonparametric methods. In this article, assuming a Gaussian random field, we consider the likelihood ratio separability test, a va...

Spatio-temporal control of femtosecond laser filamentation and white-light generation

Several possibilities are investigated to control spatio-temporal characteristics of the femtosecond filamentation process and the resulting white-light generation. We controlled the development of self-focusing, and resulting locations of filaments producing white-light in water by changing the transverse spatial phase of an initial Gaussian beam with a computer generated holographic technique...

Ultrafast Beam Filamentation - Spatio-temporal Characterization and Control

200 word) In this project, we studied the linear and nonlinear propagation of structured beams of ultrafast pulses. We have been taking advantage of the special characteristics of spatially-chirped beams, in which the frequency components cross each other at the focus of a lens. In this configuration, the pulse focuses temporally and spatially at the same time. We developed a theory for underst...

Directly measuring the spatio-temporal electric field of focusing ultrashort pulses.

We present the first technique for directly measuring (without assumptions) the spatio-temporal intensity and phase of a train of ultrashort pulses at and near a focus. Our method uses an experimentally simple and high-spectral resolution variant of spectral interferometry (SEA TADPOLE). To illustrate our technique, we measured the spatio-temporal electric field in and around the foci of severa...
