Self-imaging of tailored vortex pulse arrays and spectral Gouy rotation echoes
Abstract:
Self-imaging of femtosecond pulses with orbital angular momentum is studied in spectral domain by illuminating the orthogonal arrays of spiral gratings. Spectral Gouy rotation, i.e., the characteristic circulation of extremal regions near phase singularities in spatial spectral maps, is found to partially reappear at discrete distances. The self-imaging of co-rotating and counter-rotating vortices is compared in intensity and spectral behavior. High-selectivity pattern recognition from weakly modulated spectral maps is demonstrated by analyzing spectral moments. By our experiments, the classical Talbot effect is extended to polychromatic pulsed vortex arrays with controlled maps of rotation sign.

Echo
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...
