Time Magnification Used to Measure Chaotic Pulses in Real Time

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
QUÉBEC CITY and BESANÇON, France, Dec. 22, 2016 — A technique that provides the ability to expand timescales in optics has been used to measure ultrafast, intense light pulses directly. Observations from the experiments confirm theoretical predictions that were made decades ago, and could play a role in the prediction of very high, sudden and rare rogue waves on the surface of the oceans or the appearance of other extreme events in nature. Waves similar to rogue waves exist in optics in the form of short and intense light pulses. Natural random phenomena such as rogue waves are usually sensitive to fluctuations in initial conditions,...Read full article

    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
