Sambar (dish) sambar are popular for breakfast or an evening snack in the south Indian states. Roadside restaurants often offer free refills of sambar for idli and vadas. Sambar is also served as a side dish for dosa. Sambar (dish) Sambar, also spelled sambhar or sambaar, and pronounced saambaar, is a lentil-based vegetable stew or chowder, originating from the Indian subcontinent, cooked with a tamarind broth. It is popular in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines. According to food historian K. T. Achaya, the earliest extant mention of sambar in literature can be dated to the 17th century. Sambar is made either
Ultrashort pulse specific pulse shapes). If the pulse shaper is fully calibrated, this technique allows controlling the spectral phase of ultrashort pulses using a simple optical setup with no moving parts. However the accuracy of MIIPS is somewhat limited with respect to other techniques, such as frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG). Several techniques are available to measure ultrashort optical pulses. Intensity autocorrelation gives the pulse width when a particular pulse shape is assumed. Spectral interferometry (SI) is a linear technique that can be used when a pre-characterized reference pulse is available. It gives the intensity and phase. The algorithm that extracts the intensity
