Influence of external magnetic field on high-harmonic generation upon propagation of an ultrashort optical airy pulse in a CNTs photonic crystal

In this paper, we consider the influence of magnetic pump field on the propagation of three-dimensional ultrashort optical pulse with Airy cross-section in a medium of a photonic crystal made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It is shown, that the pulse remains localized in a limited region of space and propagates quasi-stable. The possibility of efficient generation of high harmonics under the influence of an external magnetic field that were initially absent is observed.

Photonic Time-Stretch Technology with Prismatic Pulse Dispersion towards Fast Real-Time Measurements

Photonic time-stretch (PTS) technology enables revolutionary technical breakthroughs in ultrafast electronic and optical systems. By means of employing large chromatic dispersion to map the spectrum of an ultrashort optical pulse into a stretched time-domain waveform (namely, using the dispersive Fourier transformation), PTS overcomes the fundamental speed limitations of conventional techniques. The chromatic dispersion utilized in PTS can be implemented using multiple optical prism arrays, which have the particular advantages of low loss in the extended spectrum outside of the specific telecommunication band, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. In this article, we propose and demonstrate the PTS technology established for a pair of prisms, which works as a data acquisition approach in ultrafast digitizing, imaging, and measurement regimes.
