Coherent linear optical sampling at 15 bits of resolution
Abstract
Linear optical sampling characterizes a sample by measuring the distortions on a transmitted optical field, thereby quantifying the sample's optical response. By exploiting the high mutual coherence between two phase-locked femtosecond fiber lasers, we achieve very high signal-to-noise ratio measurements of transmitted optical electric fields through coherent averaging. We measure the optical electric fields with 15.16 bits of dynamic range (91 dB in intensity) and with 525 fs timing resolution over a 10 ns time window, in a 5.1 s averaging period.

In the terahertz frequency range, the value of M is uniquely and easily determined by extrapolating Δφ(ω) to ω=0, where ΔΦ_abs should be always zero.
“However, in the terahertz frequency range, the value of M is uniquely and easily determined by extrapolating Δ ϕ ( ω ) to ω =0, where Δ Φ abs should be always zero.”

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.
