optical pulse [′äp·tə·kəl ′pəls]

(optics)

A short flash of light, used to isolate moments of time; pulses as short as 15 femtoseconds have been generated with laser and pulse compression techniques.

No references found			The researchers eventually read out the spin with yet another optical pulse. Quantum computing comes closer to reality by Asian News International In previous technologies, the routing usually involves the following steps: detection of an optical signal, an electronic routing decision, electronic triggering of a laser in the appropriate output channel, and generation of a new optical pulse. Understanding the Basics of All Optical Switching by Colin Yao / Computers and Internet community What happens on media in which the refractive index can vary with frequency so the group velocities of optical pulses can be much greater or much smaller than the speed of light in vacuum, or in which the refractive index can be negative?
