    • Measurement of the velocity distribution of sputtered Na atoms from NaCl by Doppler shift laser fluorescence 

      Yu, Ming L.; Grischkowsky, D.; Balant, A. C. (AIP Publishing, 1981-11-01)
      The velocity distribution of sputtered Na atoms from NaCI during 15 keV, Ar+ bombardment was measured by a Doppler shift laser fluorescence technique. Contrary to other measurements, the sputtered Na atoms were found to ...

    • Nonlinear picosecond-pulse propagation through optical fibers with positive group velocity dispersion 

      Nakatsuka, Hiroki; Grischkowsky, D.; Balant, A. C. (American Physical Society, 1981-09-28)
      The predictions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation have been tested by passing 5.5-psec optical pulses through a 70-m single-mode optical fiber. With use of a precise cross correlation technique based on pulse compression, ...

    • Observation of the formation of the 0-pi pulse 

      Rothenberg, Joshua E.; Grischkowsky, D.; Balant, A. C. (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 ...

    • Optical pulse compression based on enhanced frequency chirping 

      Grischkowsky, D.; Balant, A. C. (AIP Publishing, 1982-07-01)
      Through numerical simulations, we show that, under relatively general conditions, passage of an intense picosecond pulse through a single-mode optical fiber can cause the pulse to become strongly frequency broadened with ...

    • Velocity distributions of sputtered excited atoms 

      Yu, Ming L.; Grischkowsky, D.; Balant, A. C. (American Physical Society, 1982-02-08)
      The first direct measurements are reported of the velocity distributions of sputtered atoms in excited states with electronic configurations completely different from the ground state. In contrast to previous work, the ...
