We present the experimental observation of asymptotic localization, a new regime of wave packet localization under the action of an external linear potential gradient. We employ arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides and directly observe the wave packet trajectory, which exhibits an oscillation with vanishing amplitude and period.

This study investigates the motion of an electron in a Coulomb potential driven by an intense linearly polarized XUV laser pulse analyzed using Gordon-Volkov wave functions. The wave function is decomposed into spherical partial waves to model the scattered electron wave packet after the recollision with a proton. This interaction triggers high harmonic generation, producing coherent X-ray pulses with frequencies that are integer multiples of the XUV field.

Objectives: The actions and decisions of pilots are directly related to aviation safety. Therefore, understanding the neurological and cognitive processes of pilots during flight is essential. This study aims to investigate the EEG signals of pilots to understand the characteristic changes during the climb and descent stages of flight.

Achieving highly tailored control over both the spatial and temporal evolution of light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) on ultrafast timescales remains a critical challenge in photonics. Here, we introduce a method to modulate the OAM of light on a femtosecond scale by engineering a space-time coupling in ultrashort pulses. By linking azimuthal position with time, we implement an azimuthally varying Fourier transformation to dynamically alter light's spatial distribution in a fixed transverse plane.

Article Synopsis
- The study develops a method for detecting debonding defects in concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) structures using piezoelectric sensors and wave analysis.
- Experimental and numerical tests compare the effectiveness of flat and oblique measurement methods, finding that flat measurements are best for height detection, while oblique measurements excel at length detection.
- A new mathematical model linking wavelet packet energy to debonding size enhances the detection process, aiding in maintenance and repair of CFST structures through improved accuracy in defect analysis.
