Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Information Processing with Femtosecond Laser Pulses
Chapter
Abstract
Information processing with femtosecond laser pulses for optical communications and storage applications will be described. Specifically, results on femtosecond pulse imaging using nonlinear optical wave mixing as well as femtosecond pulse storage in photorefractive materials will be presented.
