Short-time effects in light absorption Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A theory is outlined which predicts that under certain conditions, other than the ones that give rise to self-induced transparency, the absorption coefficient of a medium for a very short pulse of light is proportional to the duration of the pulse. Various relevant experiments are discussed and their results are shown to be consistent with the predictions. 1969.
