Ultrashort Laser Pulses(<200 femtoseconds)
One of the exciting things about light is that it comes in different forms. Of course, we all know in different colors and different frequencies. The light can also be controlled in how its amplitude changes. We can have light pulses shorter than few attoseconds($latex 10^{-18}$ s) or we can have continuous intensity wavetrains. As opposed… Continue reading Ultrashort Laser Pulses(<200 femtoseconds)
Terahertz Light and why it is interesting ?
Terahertz is one of the mysterious bands of the wide electromagnetic spectrum. It is an interesting spectral band which is flanked on both sides by infrared and microwave bands which have revolutionized our lives. The infrared region has been exploited for high speed gigabit internet communications through optical fibres. On the other hand, the microwaves… Continue reading Terahertz Light and why it is interesting ?
Hello world!
Welcome to LightPhysics... This blog is not for the light hearted.. Just Kidding.. Light Physics is for lighthearted and for people who are inquisitive about physics.. I would try to take you through a safari of physics world in the upcoming blog posts. Also the focus would be simple physics ..but the blog with the… Continue reading Hello world!
