Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.
So great to meet the legendary Prof Govind Agrawal at @CLEOConf. We discussed a “stiff” simulation problem we faced and he suggested a potential solutions. #CLEO2024#NonLinearFiberOptics
Interestingly, the Dispersive Fourier Transform (DFT) technique which is now a key tool in measuring such laser buildup dynamics dates back to the 1980s - Akhmanov described the DFT stretched pulse as the "spectron"
