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.

The eruption in Fagradalsfjall Volcano, located in Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, from several centuries' dormant states, occurred for the first time on March 19, 2021. Observations of Fagradalsfjall Volcano were conducted in 2021, and the eruption period lasted for six months until 18 September 2021. Six days pair of interferograms were generated from ninety synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data.

The effects that arise in this context can lead to the modulation of individual field components and the transformation of the overall light field. In this study, we investigate the impact of phase and polarization distributions with radial dependencies in polar coordinates on the longitudinal component of laser beams passing through a transmissive spatial light modulator (SLM) based on twisted nematic liquid crystals.

Sum frequency generation (SFG) necessitates both noncentrosymmetry and coherence over multiple length scales. These requirements make vibrational SFG spectroscopy capable of probing structural information of noncentrosymmetric organic crystals interspersed in polymeric matrices and their three-dimensional spatial distributions within the matrices without spectral interferences from the amorphous components. However, this analysis is not as straightforward as simple vibrational spectroscopy or scattering experiments; it requires knowing the molecular hyperpolarizability of SFG-active vibrational modes and their interplay within the coherence length.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAimed at addressing the problem of azimuth measurement of a short-range target with a pulsed laser, a new, to our knowledge, azimuth measurement method based on a single-pulse laser beam expanding mechanism is proposed based on the research of the pulse laser dynamic/static azimuth detection method. The echo power equation of single-pulse laser beam expanding short-range detection is derived theoretically. Combined with the spatial geometric distribution of the optical path and the normalized sum-difference angle measurement algorithm of the four-quadrant detector, a single-pulse laser short-range azimuth angle calculation model is established.
