Observation of the formation of the 0-pi pulse
(American Physical Society, 1984-08-06)
We have measured with 0.5-psec resolution the reshaping of small-area 7-psec laser pulses to 0-pi pulses due to their passage through an optically thick sodium cell. The reshaped pulses have a picosecond oscillatory structure ...
Observation of the formation of an optical intensity shock and wave breaking in the nonlinear propagation of pulses in optical fibers
(American Physical Society, 1989-01-30)
We have observed the formation of an optical intensity shock and the subsequent wave breaking in the nonlinear propagation of 1-psec pulses in an optical fiber. The wave breaking manifests itself as the appearance of ...
