Ultrashort pulse — In optics, an ultrashort pulse of light is an electromagnetic pulse whose time duration is on the order of the femtosecond (10 − 15 second). Such pulses have a broadband optical spectrum, and can be created by mode locked oscillators. They are… … Wikipedia
Femtosecond pulse shaping — In optics, Femtosecond pulse shaping refers to various techniques to modify the temporal profile of an ultrashort pulse from a laser. Pulse shaping can be used to shorten/elongate the duration of optical pulse, or to generate more complex… … Wikipedia
Pulse shaping — In digital telecommunication, pulse shaping is the process of changing the waveform of transmitted pulses. Its purpose is to make the transmitted signal suit better to the communication channel by limiting the effective bandwidth of the… … Wikipedia
Pulse-code modulation — PCM redirects here. For other uses, see PCM (disambiguation). Pulse code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals. It is the standard form for digital audio in computers and various Blu ray, Compact Disc and … Wikipedia
Multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan — (MIIPS) is a method used in ultrashort laser technology that simultaneously measures (phase characterization), and compensates (phase correction) femtosecond laser pulses using an adaptive pulse shaper. Current ultrashort laser pulse… … Wikipedia
Kerr-lens modelocking — (KLM) is a method of modelocking lasers via a nonlinear optical process known as the optical Kerr effect . This method allows the generation of pulses of light with a duration as short as a few femtoseconds.The optical Kerr effect is a process… … Wikipedia

GRENOUILLE — Grating eliminated no nonsense observation of ultrafast incident laser light e fields (GRENOUILLE) is an ultrashort pulse measurement technique based on frequency resolved optical gating (FROG). The somewhat frivolous acronym was chosen because… … Wikipedia
Eb/N0 — E b/ N 0 (the energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio) is an important parameter in digital communication or data transmission. It is a normalized signal to noise ratio (SNR) measure, also known as the SNR per bit . It is especially… … Wikipedia
Coherence (physics) — In physics, coherence is a property of waves that enables stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference. More generally, coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities of a wave. When… … Wikipedia
