In this paper, we present an application of Variable Pulse Width Finite Rate of Innovation (VPW-FRI) in dealing with multichannel Electrocardiogram (ECG) data using a common annihilator. By extending the conventional FRI model to include additional parameters such as pulse width and asymmetry, VPWFRI has been able to deal with a more general class of pulses. The common annihilator, which is int...

The electromagnetic time-reversal (TR) technique has the characteristics of spatiotemporal focusing in a cavity (TRC), which can be used for pulse compression, thus forming an with high peak power. A time-reversed pulse-compression method single channel compression gain. However, only generate limited This paper proposes novel TR power-combination multichannel TRC to obtain higher power based o...

It is experimentally shown that using organic materials of high nonlinear refractive index dissolved in a saturable-absorber solution permits femtosecond-pulse compression in a simple colliding-pulse mode-locked laser employing cavity-mirror dispersion adjustment.

Valveless pumping refers to nonzero mean flow of fluid within a closed loop of viscoelastic tubing, when a compliant section of the loop is rhythmically compressed at particular frequencies. Valveless pumping is thought to play a role in blood circulation in embryos and in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Heretofore, the physical mechanism causing valveless pumping has remained a mystery. W...

The use of pulse-compression in ultrasonic non-destructive testing has assured, various applications, a significant improvement the signal-to-noise ratio. In this work, technique is combined with linear phased array to improve sensitivity and resolution imaging highly attenuating scattering materials. A series tests were conducted on 60 mm thick carbon fiber reinforced polymer benchmark sample ...

We demonstrate efficient spectral compression of picosecond pulses in an all-fiber configuration at telecommunication wavelengths. A spectral compression by a factor of 12 is achieved. Performing temporal shaping with a parabolic pulse significantly improves the spectral compression with much lower substructures and an enhanced Strehl ratio.

Images include information about human body which is used for different purposes such as medical, security and other plans. Compression of images is used in some applications such as profiling data and transmission systems. Regard to importance of images information, lossless or lossy compression is preferred. Lossless compressions are JPEG, JPEG-LS and JPEG 2000 is few well-known methods for l...

The spatiotemporal pulse dynamics of a high-power relativistic laser pulse interacting with an electron-positron-ion plasmas is investigated theoretically and numerically. The occurrence of pulse compression is studied. The dependence of the mechanism on the concentration of the background ions in electron positron plasma is emphasized.

When a pulse superposed on a cw background propagates through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a negative group velocity, either pulse broadening or pulse compression can be observed. These effects can be explained in terms of two competing mechanisms: gain recovery and pulse spectrum broadening. The distortion of the pulse shape caused by these effects depends on input pulse width, pump po...

The gas-filled hollow-core fiber compression and the optical filamentation technique are compared experimentally in a parameter regime suitable for intense few-cycle pulse generation. In particular, pointing stability, spectral properties, and spatial chirp are investigated. It is found that in the case of filamentation, the critical parameter for pointing stability is gas pressure inside the g...
