We have studied a GaAs-AlAs planar microcavity with a resonance near 1300 nm in the telecom range by ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity. By the judicious choice of pump frequency, we observe an ultimate fast and reversible decrease in the resonance frequency by more than half a linewidth due to the instantaneous electronic Kerr effect. The switch-on and switch-off of the cavity is only limited by the cavity storage time of tau(cav)=0.3 ps and not by intrinsic material parameters. Our results pave the way to supraterahertz switching rates for on-chip data modulation and real-time cavity quantum electrodynamics. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3580615]

Integrated piezoresistive sensors for atomic force-guided scanning Hall probe microscopy BROOK, ALEX J; BENDİNG, SJ; PINTO, JONATHAN; Oral, Ahmet; RİTCHİE, DAVİD; BEERE, H; HENİNİ, M; SPRİNGTHORPE, A (AIP Publishing, 2003-05-19) We report the development of an advanced sensor for atomic force-guided scanning Hall probe microscopy whereby both a high mobility heterostructure Hall effect magnetic sensor and an n-Al0.4Ga0.6As piezoresistive displacement sensor have been integrated in a single III-V semiconductor cantilever. This allows simple operation in high-vacuum/variable-temperature environments and enables very high magnetic and topographic resolution to be achieved simultaneously. Scans of magnetic induction and topography of a...
Measurement of differential top-quark-pair production cross sections in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-03-01) Normalised differential top-quark-pair production cross sections are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC with the CMS detector using data recorded in 2011 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb(-1). The measurements are performed in the lepton + jets decay channels (e + jets and mu + jets) and the dilepton decay channels (e(+)e(-), mu(+)mu(-), and mu(+/-)e(-/+)). The t (t) over bar differential cross section is measured as a function of kinematic properties ...
Terahertz imaging using an interferometric array Federici, JF; Gary, D; Schulkin, B; Huang, F; Altan, Hakan; Barat, R; Zimdars, D (AIP Publishing, 2003-09-22) Most methods of imaging in the terahertz (THz) spectral region utilize either pulsed-laser sources or require the THz generation and detection sources to be phase coherent. The application of interferometric imaging to the THz range is described. Interferometric imaging offers considerable advantages in this regard due to its ability to image with only a handful of detector elements, image many sources of THz radiation at once, image incoherent as well as coherent sources, and provide spectral information a...
Measurements of differential cross sections for associated production of a W boson and jets in proton-proton collisions at root s=8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-03-01) Differential cross sections for a W boson produced in association with jets are measured in a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb(-1). The W bosons are identified through their decay mode W ->mu nu. The cross sections are reported as functions of jet multiplicity, transverse momenta, and the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta ( H-T) for different jet multiplicities. Distributions...
Measurement of the average very forward energy as a function of the track multiplicity at central pseudorapidities in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-11-01) The average total energy as well as its hadronic and electromagnetic components are measured with the CMS detector at pseudorapidities -6.6 < eta < -5.2 in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV. The results are presented as a function of the charged particle multiplicity in the region vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2. This measurement is sensitive to correlations induced by the underlying event structure over a very wide pseudorapidity region. The predictions of Monte Carlo ev...
