Pulse tracking in complex photonic structures

Time-resolved near-field microscopy allows the propagation of ultrafast pulses to be visualized en route while they travel through complex photonic structures. These measurements enable the unambiguous determination of both local phase and group velocities. We illustrate this powerful technique by t...

Summary:Time-resolved near-field microscopy allows the propagation of ultrafast pulses to be visualized en route while they travel through complex photonic structures. These measurements enable the unambiguous determination of both local phase and group velocities. We illustrate this powerful technique by tracking an ultrashort wavepacket as it completes several round trips in a ring resonator.
