“Rayleigh is not fundamental” — extracting phase

1:02:47is coming at you. At some point it's going to be up. At some point it's going to be down this way, right? There's a phase. There's a timing >> that the light is coming through. And if you can extract the timing, >> then you have both parts of the wave. You have the amplitude which is the intensity which you already had. And you also have the timing in which that wave packet came in. >> Right. >> Yes. >> And so now it's kind of like with a complex number, right? A complex number as I said the other day, it's a clock that has a length and it has a phase. >> Yes. We were only sensitive to the length of this thing with the CCD. >> What these guys are doing now is they're getting sensitive to the phase of that light, [clears throat] >> creating much more information out of that single >> Mhm.

1:03:27>> resolution >> out of the existing system that's already there. >> Yes. >> It which is like a key. >> Yes. They're adding another little piece of equipment, >> right? >> Instead of the CCD, they have this thing that we're going to talk about, but that thing is now going to capture all of this additional information. And what's happening is they're dividing up the light into its notes, >> okay? >> Into its musical notes. Like when when you when you listen to a a musical note, let's say a chord that has a, C, and a
