Cosmic Explosions (optical Transients)
One of the principal motivations of wide-field and synoptic surveys is the search for and study of transients. By transients I mean those sources which arise from the background, are detected, and then fade away to oblivion. Transients in distant galaxies need to be sufficiently bright so as to be detectable and in almost all cases these transients are catastrophic events, marking the deaths of...
متن کاملOptical pulse shaping using optical coherent transients.
Using multiple temporally-overlapped, frequency offset and phase-tuned, linear frequency chirps, a new method of multi-GHz optical coherent transient optical pulse shaping and processing in inhomogeneously broadened rare-earth doped crystals is proposed. Using this technique with properly chirped laser sources, multi-GHz processing can be controlled with conventional low-bandwidth electronics a...
متن کاملiPTF ARCHIVAL SEARCH FOR FAST OPTICAL TRANSIENTS
There has been speculation of a class of relativistic explosions with an initial Lorentz factor Γinit smaller than that of classical Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). These “dirty fireballs” would lack prompt GRB emission but could be pursued via their optical afterglow, appearing as transients that fade overnight. Here we report a search for such transients (transients that fade by 5-σ in magnitude ove...
متن کاملReal-Time Detection of Optical Transients with RAPTOR
Fast variability of optical objects is an interesting though poorly explored subject in modern astronomy. Realtime data processing and identification of transient celestial events in the images is very important for such study as it allows rapid follow-up with more sensitive instruments. We discuss an approach which we have developed for the RAPTOR project, a pioneering closed-loop system combi...
متن کاملREDUCTION OF EDFA OPTICAL POWER TRANSIENTS USING POWER SHAPING by
Many erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) based multi-wavelength optical networks employ techniques such as burst-switching or packet switching where the time interval between traffic blocks can be long enough to induce EDFA optical power transients. The optical power transients are created by abrupt changes in the average input power to the EDFAs and can adversely affect the performance of the ...
