An Experimental Protocol for Femtosecond NIR/UV - XUV Pump-Probe Experiments with Free-Electron Lasers
Published on: October 23, 2018
Abstract:
We demonstrate the possibility of a 52-fs pulse single-shot measurement by using the spatial analysis of the second harmonic beam produced in an optical autocorrelator. We show that this method gives means of optimizing low repetition rate femtosecond amplifiers.

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences
A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.
Special considerations while measuring pulse
Assessing a patient's pulse is a fundamental skill in healthcare, but certain situations require special attention:
