“…With the introduction of picosecond techniques such as the optical gate to the study of the fluorescent properties of photosynthetic materials [ 1,2], it has become possible to directly measure rapid energy transfer processes. In this letter we report results obtained on photosynthetic systems by a powerful streak camera technique [3]. These results indicate that the decay of the fluorescence from two photosynthetic species, Anacystis nidulans and Chlorella pyrenoidosa, is nonexponential with much shorter lifetimes than reported previously.…”

“…three-photon fluorescence) strongly suggest that we are dealing with single picosecond pulses and not with satellite pulses. Direct observation with high speed cameras recently confirmed these results [36]. The average pulse shape of mode-locked pulse trains [41][42][43] and of single light pulses [22] was measured by pulse compression and by non-linear techniques.…”

“…Single pulses were switched out from definite positions within the pulse train. Valuable information was obtained using fast streak cameras [35,36]. It is possible to select pulses where the frequency bandwidth is close to the Fourier transform limit and where the temporal intensity distribution is well approximated by a Gaussian function [7,21,22].…”

A model concerning the generation of picosecond light pulses in solid state lasers is compared with existing experimental observations. The quality of selected single pulses and their favourable properties for investigations with ultrashort light pulses are discussed. Extensive physical applications of picosecond light pulses are reviewed. Emphasis is given to quantitative investigations of non-linear optics and of ultrafast relaxation processes in condensed matter.

“…Streak cameras were subsequently used by several groups to examine individual pulses from this laser [ 121 -[ 161 , allowing for the first time a direct measurement of the intensity profile I(t). It was discovered [13] that photoelectron time dispersion could be minimized by locating a planar, finemesh, high-potential electrode, called the extraction mesh, close to the tube photocathode, thereby achieving temporal U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright IEEE JOURNAL OF QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL.
