Conventional x-ray imaging detectors suffer from parallax error when the radiation beam arrives at the detector surface at tilted angle. The image blurring occurs as the radiation penetrates detector material in lateral direction at tilted…
The measurement of optical ultrafast laser pulses is done indirectly because the required bandwidth to measure these pulses exceeds the bandwidth of current electronics. As a result, this measurement problem is often posed as a 1-D phase…
