How would one generate Brownian light? What would it look like?
When light is an equal mix of all visible frequencies, we call it white light.
By analogy, sound that is a mix of all audible frequencies is called white noise.
For sound, there is an additional ...

Data transmission via laser illuminating the ceiling
I've heard a data transmission technique proposed more than once wherein a base station would fire a laser at the ceiling of an indoor space. The pulsing of this laser would be observed by one or more ...

Why does CW imaging not provide the same data as Pulsed imaging?
"Unlike pulsed THz imaging, the CW imaging (...) only yields intensity data and does not provide any depth, frequency-domain or time-domain information (...)." [1]
Why does a pulsed signal ...

Does the light pulse broadens in time when passing bandpass filter?
What I don't understand about relationship between laser pulse width in time and frequency, is where these rules apply, namely rules of Bandwidth-limited pulses.
Say, I have a femtosecond laser ...

Deconvoluting Raman spectras from different wavelengths
I am using a laser source that is wider than typical laser source for Raman spectroscopy. This mean that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the laser is about 5-10 nm, compared to the normal 1-3 ...
