Artifacts in laser probing of fast samples can obscure refractive index changes. New algorithms using phase difference and visibility help reconstruct the refractive index profile from distorted interferometry fringes.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Ultrafast Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Laser probing of transparent samples moving at relativistic speeds can introduce analysis artifacts.
  • These artifacts, related to probe transit time, can mask steep refractive index gradients.
  • Femtosecond interferometry of media undergoing ultrafast ionization is particularly susceptible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate artifacts in laser interferometry of fast-moving transparent samples.
  • To develop methods for reconstructing refractive index profiles despite these artifacts.
  • To address challenges in ultrafast ionization studies.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of artifacts arising from probe transit time in interferometry.
  • Development of two algorithms: one based on phase difference, another on fringe visibility.
