We have developed a real-time terahertz time-domain polarization analyzer by using 80-MHz repetition-rate femtosecond laser pulses. Our technique is based on the spinning electro-optic sensor method, which we recently proposed and demonstrated by using a regenerative amplifier laser system; here we improve the detection scheme in order to be able to use it with a femtosecond laser oscillator wi...

Electronically controlled coherent linear optical sampling for low coherence interferometry (LCI) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is demonstrated, using two turn-key commercial mode-locked fiber lasers with synchronized repetition rates. This novel technique prevents repetition rate limitations present in previous implementations based on asynchronous optical sampling. Adjustable scannin...

analysis of the internal music in sahifeh sajjadiyyeh hasan khalaf * marziye abad ** seyed hosseyn seyedi *** balasem mohseni **** abstract considering the fact that music is not just specific to poetry but it exists in all literary works, whether poetry or prose, this study attempts to examine the inner function of the music in the sahifah sajadieh. external music is related to the prosodic rh...

A laser driven electron x-ray source (LEXS) using a high repetition rate, terawatt laser system is described. The laser system has adopted design features that make it more suitable for the generation of hard x-ray pulses. These features include a simplified pumping scheme to reduce cost and complexity, a λ/4 broadband regenerative amplifier to support high-energy, short optical pulse generatio...

Our visual memory percepts of whether we have encountered specific objects or scenes before are hypothesized to manifest as decrements in neural responses in inferotemporal cortex (IT) with stimulus repetition. To evaluate this proposal, we recorded IT neural responses as two monkeys performed a single-exposure visual memory task designed to measure the rates of forgetting with time. We found t...

We introduce and experimentally validate a pulse picking technique based on a travelling-wave-type acousto-optic modulator (AOM) having the AOM carrier frequency synchronized to the repetition rate of the original pulse train. As a consequence, the phase noise characteristic of the original pulse train is largely preserved, rendering this technique suitable for applications requiring carrier-en...

We propose an algorithm for combinatorial optimization where an explicit check for the repetition of configurations is added to the basic scheme of Tabu search. In our Tabu scheme the appropriate size of the list is learned in an automated way by reacting to the occurrence of cycles. In addition, if the search appears to be repeating an excessive number of solutions excessively often, then the ...

The main impairment of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is an intercarrier interference (ICI) effect caused by a frequency offset. A zero-padded technique designed for a conjugate cancellation scheme in MIMO-OFDM systems for ICI cancellation is proposed by padding zero between two consecutive symbols over a space-frequency domain. At the receiver, the ICI cancellatio...
