The multiheterodyne beatnote between two frequency combs having pulses sliding one with respect to another is used to perform spectrally resolved ranging of diffuse reflectors at short distances. The sliding comb sources are generated using one mode-locked laser and a two-beam interferometer, but two properly controlled lasers could be used as well. A pseudo-random binary modulation of the pulses is used to increase the non-ambiguous range. Ranging with a spatial resolution of 21 cm and a spectral resolution of 10 cm(-1) over a 200 cm(-1) spectral range is demonstrated.

Molecular Angular Momentum Orientation Using Dressed States Created by Laser Radiation.

We have produced state selective molecular angular momentum orientation using dressed states created by a cw optical field. The experiment was carried out with Li_{2} molecules and a combination of left- and right-hand circularly polarized lasers. Our approach exploits the dependence of the Rabi frequency on the quantum number M, which makes it possible to achieve complete M-state selectivity and thus molecular angular momentum orientation relative to laboratory frame space-fixed axes.

We present a protocol for detecting multipartite entanglement in itinerant many-body electronic systems using single-particle Green's functions. To achieve this, we first establish a connection between the quantum Fisher information and single-particle Green's functions by constructing a set of witness operators built out of single electron creation and destruction operators in a doubled system. This set of witness operators is indexed by a momentum k.

However, LAS measurement of nitric oxide (NO) in ammonia flames has never been reported in the literature. This is despite the community's recent strong interest in carbon-neutral ammonia combustion and the associated NO formation problem.

The EBIS achieves a temporal resolution of ∼10s (∼ 100,000 frames/s), while the CIS provides diffraction-limited spatial resolution. A diffractive optical element encodes spectral information into a diffractogram, which is recorded by the CIS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFScattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (-SNOM) under the excitation of single cycle picosecond (ps) pulse provides access to terahertz (THz) time-resolved nanoscopy. However, the development of THz nanoscopy has been greatly limited due to the inherently low efficiency of the scattered field and the convolution of the intrinsic material response with the extrinsic response of the cantilevered tip. In this work, we quantitatively study the near-field time-delayed pulse transients of resonant cantilevered tips, observing localized tip-enhanced coupling as well as delocalized collective charge oscillations propagating as resonant surface waves along cantilevered tips.
