自由空间中的时间Talbot效应

Temporal Talbot effect in free space

Layton A. Hall, Sergey A. Ponomarenko, Ayman F. Abouraddy

摘要:

时间Talbot效应是指在色散介质中传播的脉冲训练的周期性恢复,并且是空间Talbot效应的时间模拟,其中时间上的群速度色散代替空间上的衍射。由于典型的大时间塔尔博特长度,这种效应迄今为止只在单模光纤中观察到,而不是在体色散介质中自由传播的场。在这里,我们证明了第一次在自由空间中的时间Talbot效应,采用色散时空波包,其时空结构诱导的群速度色散的大小和符号可控的自由空间。

英文摘要:

The temporal Talbot effect refers to the periodic revivals of a pulse train propagating in a dispersive medium, and is a temporal analog of the spatial Talbot effect with group-velocity dispersion in time replacing diffraction in space. Because of typically large temporal Talbot lengths, this effect has been observed to date in only single-mode fibers, rather than with freely propagating fields in bulk dispersive media. Here we demonstrate for the first time the temporal Talbot effect in free space by employing dispersive space-time wave packets, whose spatio-temporal structure induces group-velocity dispersion of controllable magnitude and sign in free space.
