- A diffractive lens is implemented to equalize optical-path-length differences, enabling high-contrast interference patterns with micrometric resolution on a standard CCD sensor.
Article Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an interferometer for femtosecond pulses with spectral bandwidth about 100 nm. The scheme is based on a Michelson interferometer with a dispersion compensating module. A diffractive lens serves the purpose of equalizing the optical-path-length difference for a wide range of frequencies. In this way, it is possible to register high-contrast interference fringes with micrometric resolution over the whole area of a commercial CCD sensor for broadband femtosecond pulses.

We have observed the laser-assisted dynamic interference in the electron spectra triggered by attosecond pulse trains. The fingerprints of finer interference fringes, much smaller than the laser photon energy, have been clearly identified experimentally. Our measurements are successfully reproduced by theoretical simulations utilizing the numerical solution to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the strong-field approximation.

An all-fiber vibration sensor based on the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and experimentally evaluated in this study. The sensor is fabricated by introducing a Fabry-Perot cavity to the single-mode fiber using femtosecond laser ablation. The cavity and the tail act together as a cantilever beam, which can be used as a vibration receiver.

Tests of the uniaxial compression of single grains were performed in a specially designed press, which allowed the recording of an applied load in regard to the time and observation of occurring phenomena in a polarization assay. Three types of grains were tested: quartz sand, glass granules, and crushed glass. The strength tests showed different mechanisms of grain damage depending on the type of grain.

Information propagation in the one-dimensional infinite temperature Hubbard model with a dissipative particle sink at the end of a semi-infinite chain is studied. In the strongly interacting limit, the two-site mutual information and the operator entanglement entropy exhibit a rich structure with two propagating information fronts and superimposed interference fringes. A classical reversible cellular automaton model quantitatively captures the transport and the slow, classical part of the correlations but fails to describe the rapidly propagating information jet.

The proposed algorithm converts the rotational movement in a petal-shaped interference pattern into translational movement of the grayscale projection curves, so that can be easily measured using correlation operations to determine the pixel displacement in determining the rotation angle. Displacements ranging from -120 nm to 120 nm have been measured for various topological charges, with a minimum average deviation of 0.
