Mit einer neuen Methode lässt sich erstmals erfassen, wie sich das elektrische Feld von schwacher Strahlung bewegt
Einem internationalen Forschungsteam unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Giuseppe Sansone vom Physikalischen Institut der Universität Freiburg ist es erstmals gelungen, die komplexe Entwicklung des elektrischen Feldes von schwachen Lichtpulsen vollständig zu charakterisieren. Das Team hat seine Ergebnisse im Fachjournal „Nature Photonics” veröffentlicht.(more…)
