Pour répondre à cette interrogation, un concept d'expérience original a été imaginé : deux impulsions laser ultrabrèves de longueurs d'onde différentes mais dont la somme de fréquence est suffisante pour exciter la fluorescence d'un colorant dilué dans la microcavité sont décalées temporellement (expérience pompe-sonde). La fluorescence n'est excitée que lorsque les deux paquets d'onde se recouvrent spatialement : on réalise ainsi un corrélateur optique. 3, record 3, French, - corr%C3%A9lateur%20optique

New digital photoelectric correlator... A simple electronic correlator for two-time photoelectric correlation measurements has been developed. It functions by registering the distribution of time intervals between pairs of photoelectric pulses. Its basic elements are a clock that is started by the first pulse and is used to digitize the time intervals, a pair of fast counters for counting subsequent pulses, and a set of data registers. The pulses are directed to one or the other counter alternately at regular clock intervals. 2, record 8, English, - photoelectric%20correlator
