"Single-shot" ultrafast spectroscopy based on the frequency encoding of transient absorbance kinetics using chirped probe pulses is analyzed theoretically. FDSS has an advantage over pump-probe spectroscopy in a situation where the "noise"…
A theory has been developed to interpret time-domain Brillouin scattering (TDBS) experiments involving coherent acoustic pulse (CAP) and light pulse beams propagating at an angle to each other. It predicts the influence of the directivity…
Coherent wave control exploits the interference among multiple waves impinging on a system to suppress or enhance outgoing signals based on their relative phase and amplitude. This process inherently requires non-Hermiticity, in order to…
Microcavity-based microlasers are the kernel light sources for integrating photonics and optoelectronics. The traditional pump light frequency locking mainly utilizes a complex system with optoelectronic feedback, which requires a high-cost…
