An active fiber sensor for mirror vibration metrology in astronomical interferometers (2009)
Minardi, S., Chipouline, A., Krämer, S., Pertsch, T., Follert, R., Stecklum, B., ...
We present a fiber sensor based on an active integrated component which could be effectively used to measure the longitudinal vibration modes of telescope mirrors in an interferometric array. We...
Spatio-temporal light propagation in complex two-dimensional waveguide lattices (2009)
Pertsch, T., Eilenberger, F., Minardi, S., Nolte, S., Lederer, F., Tünnermann, A., ...
We investigate the dynamics of spatio-temporal nonlinear localization in arrays of evanescently coupled silica fiber arrays. In contrast to continuous systems the formation of stable light bullets...
Observation of three-dimensional discrete-continuous X waves in photonic lattices (2009)
Heinrich, M., Szameit, A., Dreisow, F., Keil, R., Minardi, S., Pertsch, T., ...
We report on the generation of three-dimensional discrete X waves in a femtosecond laser-written waveguide array. Our measurements constitute the first experimental observation of temporally...
Magnetic reconnection and plasma dynamics in two-beam laser-solid interactions (2006)
Nilson, PM, Willingale, L, Kaluza, MC, Kamperidis, C, Minardi, S, Wei, M, ...
We present measurements of a magnetic reconnection in a plasma created by two laser beams (1 ns pulse duration, 1x10(15) W cm(-2)) focused in close proximity on a planar solid target. Simultaneous...
Space-time nonlinear compression and three-dimensional complex trapping in normal dispersion (2003)
Valiulis, G., Kilius, J., Jedrkiewicz, O., Bramati, A., Minardi, S., Conti, C., ...
In positive phase-mismatched SHG and normal dispersion, a gaussian spatio-temporal pulse transforms spontaneously into a X-pulse, underlies spatio-temporal compression and eventually leads to...
Three dimensional imaging of short pulses (2003)
Potenza, M. A. C., Minardi, S., Trull, J., Blasi, G., Salerno, D., Di Trapani, P., ...
We exploit a slightly noncollinear second-harmonic cross-correlation scheme to map the 3D space-time intensity distribution of an unknown complex-shaped ultrashort optical pulse. We show the...
