Coherent control of light-matter interactions in polarization standing waves
We experimentally demonstrate that standing waves formed by two coherent counter-propagating light waves can take a variety of forms, offering new approaches to the interrogation and control of polarization-sensitive light-matter interactions in ultrathin (subwavelength thickness) media. In contrast to familiar energy standing waves, polarization standing waves have constant electric and magnet...
متن کاملLight splitting with imperfect wave plates.
We discuss the use of wave plates with arbitrary retardances, in conjunction with a linear polarizer, to split linearly polarized light into two linearly polarized beams with an arbitrary splitting fraction. We show that for non-ideal wave plates, a much broader range of splitting ratios is typically possible when a pair of wave plates, rather than a single wave plate, is used. We discuss the m...
متن کاملConical emission, pulse splitting, and X-wave parametric amplification in nonlinear dynamics of ultrashort light pulses.
The precise observation of the angle-frequency spectrum of light filaments in water reveals a scenario incompatible with current models of conical emission (CE). Its description in terms of linear X-wave modes leads us to understand filamentation dynamics requiring a phase- and group-matched, Kerr-driven four-wave-mixing process that involves two highly localized pumps and two X waves. CE and t...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Xe129 Ventilation Imaging using an Optimized 3D Steady-state Free-precession Pulse Sequence
Introduction: MRI using hyperpolarized gases (HPG) provides unique functional and structural information about the lung. However, the agent that has been most commonly used in humans, He3, is in limited world supply and thus, if widespread clinical application of HPG-MRI is to occur, it likely will require the alternative agent, Xe129. The solubility and chemical-shift characteristics of Xe129 ...
