The transmission of a light pulse through a dye solution is determined by its energy density if the pulse duration is short compared to the absorption recovery time. The energy transmission measurement allows the determination of the pulse energy. Simultaneous measurement of energy transmission and input pulse peak intensity makes it possible to calculate the pulse duration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
