group velocity dispersion (GVD)
Materials science; Material physics
Measures pulse broadening per unit of length of the medium per unit bandwidth of the pulse.
group delay dispersion (GDD)
Materials science; Material physics
Measures the pulse broadening per unit of bandwidth of the pulse. For a pulse centered at frequency too after traveling a distance z, the GDD is given by A small value of GDD is ...
intensity interferometer
Materials science; Material physics
Measures the second order intensity correlation function. See Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment.
signal Kerr
Materials science; Material physics
Medium probe Use of a Kerr medium for quantum non-demolition measurements.
conformal mapping
Materials science; Material physics
Method by which a complex flow pattern, by itself or around a solid body, can be mapped or transformed into a much simpler pattern allowing easier solution of the flow field. A ...
Dalgarno-Lewis method
Materials science; Material physics
Method developed by A. Dalgamo and J.T. Lewis (1955) that occasionally enables the second order perturbative correction to the energy of a state to be evaluated exactly.
Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation
Materials science; Material physics
Method developed by L.L. Foldy and S.A. Wouthuysen (1950) for decomposing the Dirac equation into a pair of equations that allows the systematic evaluation of relativistic effects ...
