Average energy flow of optical pulses in dispersive media
The arrival time of a light pulse at a point in space is defined using a time expectation integral over the Poynting vector. The delay between pulse arrival times at two distinct points is shown to consist of two parts: a spectral superposition of group delays (inverse of group velocity) and a delay due to spectral reshaping via absorption or amplification. The result provides a context wherein...
متن کاملTracking ultrashort pulses through dispersive media: experiment and theory.
We report on the direct visualization of a femtosecond pulse propagating through a dispersive waveguide at a telecom wavelength. The position of a propagating pulse is pinpointed at a particular point in space and time using a scanning probe based measurement. The actual propagation of the pulse is visualized by changing the reference time. Our phase-sensitive and time-resolved measurement prov...
متن کاملMeasured Electromagnetic Pulses Verify Asymptotics and Analysis for Linear, Dispersive Media
Electromagnetic precursors and other pulses in dispersive media have been studied theoretically since 1914. Yet a recent National Research Council study [1, p. 73–75] found few measurements that verify the relevant theories. Verification is useful because, where independent theories and measurements agree, the results are highly reliable. This report describes two laboratory verifications of tr...
متن کاملProposal and design of Airy-based rocket pulses for invariant propagation in lossy dispersive media.
A novel (to our knowledge) kind of Airy-based pulse with an invariant propagation in lossy dispersive media is proposed. The basic principle is based on an optical energy trade-off between different parts of the pulse caused by the chromatic dispersion, which is used to compensate the attenuation losses of the propagation medium. Although the ideal concept of the proposed pulses implies infinit...
متن کاملMeasurement of net group and reshaping delays for optical pulses in dispersive media.
We experimentally demonstrate the direct measurement of net group and reshaping delays for arbitrary optical pulses in dispersive media, verifying the earlier prediction of Peatross et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2370 (2000)]. Incoherent pulse propagation in an absorptionless system is well described by net group delay; even the medium causes a great deal of deformation in the transmitted pulse. ...
