The femtosecond magnetization dynamics of a thin cobalt film excited with ultrashort laser pulses has been studied using two complementary pump-probe techniques, namely, spin-, energy-, and time-resolved photoemission and the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. Combining the two methods, it is possible to identify the microscopic electron spin-flip mechanisms responsible for the ultrafas...

Magnetically and optically confined Bose-Einstein condensates were studied near a microfabricated surface. Condensate fragmentation observed in microfabricated magnetic traps was not observed in optical dipole traps at the same location. The measured condensate lifetime was >or=20 s and independent of the atom-surface separation under both magnetic and optical confinement. Radio-frequency spin-...

The communication security is set up by registration during the first beliefand get in touch between two human beings. The safety codes among them aregenerated and the records are blocked by these protection codes if the end user is not therequired one. On the other hand, the unlocked records are transmitted if the required enduser is confirmed by the feedback brain signals via the comments min...

Magnetic-resonance imaging using the novel MR signal (26% Xe), which was contained in a 25 cm cylindrical glass cell (2 cm diameter, 7.5 cm length) , at 3 atm, along source provided by hyperpolarized noble gases Xe and He may prove to be an important new diagnostic technique with 3 atm N2 buffer gas and a small quantity of solid Rb. Xe was hyperpolarized in the fringe field of a 1.5 T superfor ...

The realization of an all-solid microstructured optical fiber based on chalcogenide glasses was achieved. The fiber presents As(2)S(3) inclusions selected as low refractive index material (n = 2.4) embedded in a As(38)Se(62) glass matrix (n = 2.8). The single mode regime of the fiber was demonstrated both theoretically by multipole method calculations and experimentally by near field measuremen...

We consider all-to-all routing problem in an optical ring network that uses the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). Since one-hop, all-to-all optical routing in a WDM optical ring of n nodes needs ! w (Cn; IA; 1) = d 1 2 b n 2 4 ce wavelengths which can be too large even for moderate values of n, we consider in this paper j-hop implementations of all-to-all routing in a WDM optical ring, j ...

We reapply our approach to designing nanophotonic quantum memories to formulate an optical network that autonomously protects a single logical qubit against arbitrary single-qubit errors. Emulating the 9 qubit Bacon-Shor subsystem code, the network replaces the traditionally discrete syndrome measurement and correction steps by continuous, time-independent optical interactions and coherent feed...

The photochromic fluorescence switching of a fulgimide derivative was used to implement the first molecule-based D (delay) flip-flop device, which works based on the principles of sequential logic. The device operates exclusively with photonic signals and can be conveniently switched in repeated cycles.
