  2. Optical autocorrelation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_autocorrelation

    Because the intensity autocorrelation ignores the temporal phase of pulse (b) that is due to the instantaneous frequency sweep , both pulses yield the same intensity autocorrelation. Here, identical Gaussian temporal profiles have been used, resulting in an intensity autocorrelation width 2 1/2 longer than the original intensities. Note that an ...

  3. Pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse

    In medicine, the pulse is the rhythmic throbbing of each artery in response to the cardiac cycle (heartbeat). [1] The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), wrist (radial artery or ulnar artery), at the groin (femoral artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), near the ankle joint ...

  4. Coherence (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(physics)

    Temporal coherence tells us how monochromatic a source is. In other words, it characterizes how well a wave can interfere with itself at a different time. The delay over which the phase or amplitude wanders by a significant amount (and hence the correlation decreases by significant amount) is defined as the coherence time τ c {\displaystyle ...

  5. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    The reason for defining the dispersion in this way is that |D| is the (asymptotic) temporal pulse spreading Δt per unit bandwidth Δλ per unit distance travelled, commonly reported in ps/(nm⋅km) for optical fibers. In the case of multi-mode optical fibers, so-called modal dispersion will also lead to pulse

  6. Pulsatile secretion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsatile_secretion

    Pulsatile secretion is a biochemical phenomenon observed in a wide variety of cell and tissue types, in which chemical products are secreted in a regular temporal pattern. The most common cellular products observed to be released in this manner are intercellular signaling molecules such as hormones or neurotransmitters.

  7. Self-phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-phase_modulation

    A similar analysis can be carried out for any pulse shape, such as the hyperbolic secant-squared (sech 2) pulse profile generated by most ultrashort pulse lasers. If the pulse is of sufficient intensity, the spectral broadening process of SPM can balance with the temporal compression due to anomalous dispersion and reach an equilibrium state.

  8. Soliton (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soliton_(optics)

    With temporal solitons it is possible to remove such a problem completely. Linear and nonlinear effects on Gaussian pulses. Consider the picture on the right. On the left there is a standard Gaussian pulse, that's the envelope of the field oscillating at a defined frequency. We assume that the frequency remains perfectly constant during the pulse.

  9. Ultrashort pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrashort_pulse

    A positively chirped ultrashort pulse of light in the time domain. There is no standard definition of ultrashort pulse. Usually the attribute 'ultrashort' applies to pulses with a duration of a few tens of femtoseconds, but in a larger sense any pulse which lasts less than a few picoseconds can be considered ultrashort.
