1Optical coherence tomography — Intervention Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image of a sarcoma MeSH …
2Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy — Coherent anti Stokes Raman spectroscopy, also called Coherent anti Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS), is a form of spectroscopy used primarily in chemistry, physics and related fields. It is sensitive to the same vibrational signatures… …
3Optical pumping — of a laser rod (bottom) with an arc lamp (top). Red: hot. Blue: cold. Green: light. Non green arrows: water flow. Solid colors: metal. Light colors: fused quartz. Refs: [1], [2] …
4Coherent states — In quantum mechanics a coherent state is a specific kind of quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator whose dynamics most closely resembles the oscillating behaviour of a classical harmonic oscillator. It was the first example of quantum… …
5Optical hybrid — A 90° optical hybrid is a six port device that is used for coherent signal demodulation for either homodyne or heterodyne detection. It would mix the incoming signal with the four quadratural states associated with the reference signal in the… …
6Optical parametric oscillator — Infrared optical parametric oscillator An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is a parametric oscillator which oscillates at optical frequencies. It converts an input laser wave (called pump ) into two output waves of lower frequency (ωs,ωi) by… …
7Coherent state — In quantum mechanics a coherent state is a specific kind of quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator whose dynamics most closely resemble the oscillating behaviour of a classical harmonic oscillator system. It was the first example of… …
8Optical heterodyne detection — is an important special case of heterodyne detection. In heterodyne detection, a signal of interest at some frequency is non linearly mixed with a reference local oscillator (LO) that is set at a close by frequency. The desired outcome is the… …
9Optical interferometry — combines two or more light waves in an optical instrument in such a way that interference occurs between them. Early interferometers used white light sources and also monochromatic light from atomic sources (e.g., Young s double slit experiment… …
10Laser cooling — refers to the number of techniques in which atomic and molecular samples are cooled through the interaction with one or more laser light fields. The first example of laser cooling, and also still the most common method of laser cooling (so much… …
