spontaneous emission noise
1Self-Amplified Stimulated-Emission — Self Amplified Spontaneous (or Stimulated) Emission (SASE) is a process within a Free electron laser (FEL) by which a laser beam is created by the high energy electron beam. The lasing starts up from the random microbunching (i.e., shot noise) on …
2Otoacoustic emission — An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a sound which is generated from within the inner ear. Having been predicted by Thomas Gold in 1948, its existence was first demonstrated experimentally by David Kemp in 1978[1] and otoacoustic emissions have since …
3K-factor — Telecommunications= In telecommunication, the term k factor has the following meanings: 1. In tropospheric radio propagation, the ratio of the effective Earth radius to the actual Earth radius. Note: The k factor is approximately 4/3. 2. In… …
4Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… …
5Atomic line filter — A potassium Faraday filter designed, built and photographed by Jonas Hedin for making daytime LIDAR measurements at Arecibo Observatory.[1] An atomic line filter (ALF) is an advanced optical band pass filter used in the physical sciences for… …
6spectroscopy — spectroscopist /spek tros keuh pist/, n. /spek tros keuh pee, spek treuh skoh pee/, n. the science that deals with the use of the spectroscope and with spectrum analysis. [1865 70; SPECTRO + SCOPY] * * * Branch of analysis devoted to identifying… …
7Raman scattering — or the Raman effect (pronounced: IPA| [rə.mən] ) is the inelastic scattering of a photon. Discovered By Dr. C.V. Raman in liquids and by Grigory Landsberg and Leonid Mandelstam in crystals.When light is scattered from an atom or molecule, most… …
8Free space — In classical physics, free space is a concept of electromagnetic theory, corresponding to a theoretically perfect vacuum, and sometimes referred to as the vacuum of free space. The definitions of the ampere and meter SI units are based upon… …
9Résonance magnétique nucléaire — Pour les articles homonymes, voir RMN. Premier spectromètre RMN à 1 GHz (23,5 T installé au Centre de RMN à Très Hauts Champs à Lyon en aôut 2009. La résonance magnétique nucléaire (RMN) désigne une propriété de certains noyaux atomiques …
10Atomic clock — Nuclear clock redirects here. For the clock as a measure for risk of catastrophic destruction, see Doomsday Clock. For a clock updated by radio signals (commonly but inaccurately called an atomic clock ), see Radio clock. For the album by Zion I …
