摘要: We demonstrate a single-shot method of visualizing the evolution of light-speed, laser-generated structures as they propagate over hundreds of Rayleigh lengths (typically ≥10 cm) through a tenuous medium. An ultrashort probe pulse crosses the object's path at a small angle (θ<5°) and a specific time delay. Copies of the phase-modulated probe are then relay-imaged to separate detectors from selected object planes along the propagation path. A phase-contrast technique based on Kerr effect and nonlinear absorption converts phase to intensity modulation, improving sensitivity in tenuous media. A continuous record of the probe phase modulation along the propagation path is reconstructed. 其他題名: Opt Lett 出版者: United States 出版日期: 2013-12-01 出處: Optics letters, 2013-12, Vol.38 (23), p.5157-5160 資源來源: Optica 識別號: ISSN: 0146-9592 識別號: ISSN: 1539-4794 識別號: EISSN: 1539-4794 識別號: DOI: 10.1364/OL.38.005157 識別號: PMID: 24281534
