Subpicosecond electro-optic shock waves
Abstract
When an extremely short optical pulse is focused into an electro-optic material, a moving polarization is produced which radiates in a Cerenkov-like cone. At the boundary of this shock wave, the electric field consists of an extremely fast electrical transient with a correspondingly wide spectral distribution extending well into the far infrared. When appropriately coupled out of the material, this shock wave can be used as a fast electronic impulse generator or far-infrared source without requiring subminiature transmission structures to guide the signal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
