Coherent transient optical signal processing without brief pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The temporal processing operations of convolution and correlation are demonstrated through optical coherent transient techniques, in which two long, low-intensity frequency-chirped pulses replace the single, brief reference pulse of a traditional three-pulse excitation sequence (brief pulse, pattern pulse, and data pulse). Here, a four-pulse excitation sequence is used (two frequency-chirped pulses, pattern pulse, and data pulse) in which the particular order and timing of the chirped pulses with respect to the other waveforms determine the processing operation. An experiment is performed with biphase-coded pattern and data pulses to demonstrate both the correlation and the convolution operations. A new atomic rephasing process that we call delayed rephasing is demonstrated.
