Journal ArticleDOI
A Survey of Terahertz Applications in Cultural Heritage Conservation Science
J. B. Jackson,John W. Bowen,Gillian C. Walker,J. Labaune,Gerard Mourou,Michel Menu,Kaori Fukunaga +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the advances that have been made to establish terahertz applications in the cultural heritage conservation sector over the last several years is presented in this paper, which includes material spectroscopy, 2D and 3D imaging and tomographic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terahertz imaging for non-destructive evaluation of mural paintings
J. B. Jackson,M. Mourou,John F. Whitaker,Irl N. Duling,S.L. Williamson,Michel Menu,Gerard Mourou +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of applying time-domain, terahertz spectroscopic imaging to the evaluation of underdrawings and paint layers embedded within wall paintings is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
1000 times expansion/compression of optical pulses for chirped pulse amplification
M. Pessot,P. Maine,Gerard Mourou +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fraction gratings in both positive and negative group velocity dispersion configurations to expand and compress an optical pulse, achieving an expansion/compression factor of 1000 times, from 85 fs to 85 ps and back.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subpicosecond electrical sampling
TL;DR: In this article, a lithium tantalate traveling wave Pockels cell was employed in conjunction with a high repetition rate subpicosecond laser system for the characterization of electrical transients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Phase Transformation in Aluminum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a subpicosecond probe based on structural dependent second harmonic generation (SGSG) to directly observe the laser-induced melting of aluminum, which can reveal when and to what degree a system melts as defined by degradation in the long range order of the lattice.
