We show theoretically how high-order stimulated Raman scattering in the impulsive pump-probe regime can be used for generation of single mid-infrared (MIR) single-cycle pulses. The propagation of MIR probe pulses in a hollow waveguide filled with a Raman-excited gaseous medium, with a probe delay in the maximum of the molecular oscillations, results in spectral broadening covering almost 2 octaves. The spectral phases of this broadening can be compensated for by use of an output glass window with anomalous dispersion in the MIR. The spectral and temporal characteristics of the output pulses and the mechanism of pulse compression are studied by use of numerical and analytical solutions, and compression of a 70-fs input pulse at 4 microm to a single-cycle 6.5-fs output pulse is shown.

This study investigates the pulse compression technique to improve the performance of magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) with magnetic field measurements through numerical studies. Emphasizing the effects of specific coil configuration on MAET measurements, the study conducts evaluations using a linear phased array (LPA) transducer and numerical breast models with tumor inclusion. It provides feasibility and a detailed comparative analysis of various excitations, including linear frequency modulated (LFM), Barker code, and Golay code excitations in MAET.

Ultrafast electron microscopy provides a movie-like access to structural dynamics of materials in space and time, but fundamental atomic motions or electron dynamics are, so far, too quick to be resolved. Here, we report the all-optical control, compression, and characterization of electron pulses in a transmission electron microscope by the single optical cycles of laser-generated terahertz light. This concept provides isolated electron pulses and merges the spatial resolution of a transmission electron microscope with the temporal resolution that is offered by a single cycle of laser light.

Study Design: Pastern joint arthrodesis with a 3-hole 4.5-mm narrow locking compression plate was performed on 20 forelimbs of equine cadavers, randomized into four groups based on the fixation method and type of proximal screw used: unicortical cortex, bicortical cortex, unicortical locking, bicortical locking.
Single-Bit Reception With Coded Excitation for Lightweight Advanced Ultrasonic Imaging Systems.
IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control
September 2024
The demand for an efficient and reliable ultrasonic phased array imaging system is not unique to a single industry. Today's imaging systems can be enhanced in a number of areas including; improving scanning and processing times, reducing data storage requirements, simplifying hardware, and prolonging probe lifespan. In this work, it is shown that by combining the use of coded excitation with single-bit data capture, a number of these areas can be improved.
