https://www.selleckchem.com/products/muvalaplin.html We experimentally demonstrate that the terahertz (THz) emission from two-color laser filaments in gases is strongly affected by the pulse repetition rate of the driving laser. We show that at repetition rates above 100 Hz, propagation of every next laser pulse in the pulse train is altered by gas density depressions produced by the preceding laser pulses. As a result, plasma channels at higher repetition rates become shorter, leading to less efficient THz generation. In particular, we observe a 50% decrease in the emitted THz energy when the repetition rate increases from 6 Hz to 6 kHz.Polarizers serve many application fields such as imaging, display technology, and telecommunications. Focusing on the visible spectral region, we provide the design and fabrication of compact high-efficiency resonant polarizers in the crystalline silicon-on-quartz material system. We experimentally verify the improved efficiency attained by a cascaded dual-module polarizer assembled with building blocks of elemental subwavelength grating structures. We obtain a measured extinction ratio (ER) of ∼3000 in a 2 mm thick stacked prototype device across a bandwidth of ∼110nm in the 570-680 nm spectral domain. The ridge width of the constituent nanograting is ∼84nm. Computed results show a high ER in spite of the lossy nature of crystalline silicon in the visible region, enabling cascaded metasurfaces while preserving high transmission.Free-space quantum key distribution is gaining increasing interest as a leading platform for long range quantum communication. However, the sensitivity of quantum correlations to scattering induced by turbulent atmospheric links limits the performance of such systems. Recently, a method for compensating for the scattering of entangled photons was demonstrated, allowing for real-time optimization of their quantum correlations. In this Letter, we demonstrate the use of wavefront shaping for compensating for th
