ChemInform Abstract: Organic Materials for Non-Linear Optics: The 2D Approach
2010
Conventional organic molecules for applications in second-order non-linear optics are donor–acceptor substituted π systems that show only one intense charge-transfer (CT) transition. Thus, only a single element of the second-order polarizability tensor, β, is significant in these one-dimensional systems. The advantages and optimization strategies for two new classes of molecules with multiple CT transitions and two-dimensional second-order polarizability are reviewed. These are donor–acceptor substituted π systems that lack a dipole and have a molecular symmetry of C3 or higher, and dipolar molecules of symmetry C2v. A basic introduction to the field is also given.
Triphenylmethyl and triphenylsilyl based molecular glasses for photonic applications
2015
Triphenylmethyl and triphenylsilyl structural fragments can be used to obtain glass forming, solution processable materials from polar chromophore molecules. Large number of compounds has been synthesized taking advantage of this approach, making it possible to identify some structure-property relations. Regarding the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of the given materials it is evident that triphenylmethyl groups help shielding unwanted NLO efficiency limiting dipolar interactions between polar chromophores in solid films. Chromophore stacking is still observed for compounds with large dipole momentum values. The glass transition temperatures of the compounds increase with the molecular…
Microscopic theory for the light-induced anomalous Hall effect in graphene
2019
We employ a quantum Liouville equation with relaxation to model the recently observed anomalous Hall effect in graphene irradiated by an ultrafast pulse of circularly polarized light. In the weak-field regime, we demonstrate that the Hall effect originates from an asymmetric population of photocarriers in the Dirac bands. By contrast, in the strong-field regime, the system is driven into a non-equilibrium steady state that is well-described by topologically non-trivial Floquet-Bloch bands. Here, the anomalous Hall current originates from the combination of a population imbalance in these dressed bands together with a smaller anomalous velocity contribution arising from their Berry curvature…
On a linear diophantine problem of Frobenius
1993
Abstract In this paper, linear diophantine problem of Frobenius is discussed. A theorem concerning the largest integer g m (a1,a2) and the smallest integer G m (a1,a2) with m different representations with a1,a2 as basis is proved.
Polynomial method to study the entanglement of pure N-qubit states
2009
We present a mapping which associates pure N-qubit states with a polynomial. The roots of the polynomial characterize the state completely. Using the properties of the polynomial we construct a way to determine the separability and the number of unentangled qubits of pure N-qubit states.
Scalable Ellipsoidal Classification for Bipartite Quantum States
2008
The Separability Problem is approached from the perspective of Ellipsoidal Classification. A Density Operator of dimension N can be represented as a vector in a real vector space of dimension $N^{2}- 1$, whose components are the projections of the matrix onto some selected basis. We suggest a method to test separability, based on successive optimization programs. First, we find the Minimum Volume Covering Ellipsoid that encloses a particular set of properly vectorized bipartite separable states, and then we compute the Euclidean distance of an arbitrary vectorized bipartite Density Operator to this ellipsoid. If the vectorized Density Operator falls inside the ellipsoid, it is regarded as s…
C3v Top Data System (C3vTDS) software for spectrum simulation of XY3Z symmetric-top molecules using the group chain
2010
Abstract The C3v Top Data System (C3vTDS) program suite has been developed with the aim of studying any rovibrational band or polyad of XY3Z (C3v) symmetric-tops molecules in a singlet electronic state. It is developed in the same way as similar programs for various molecular symmetries (Td, Oh, C4v, C2v and D2h). We work in the O ( 3 ) ⊃ C ∞ v ⊃ C 3 v group chain and this choice has consequences on the method used to specify the input parameters for Hamiltonian and transition moment calculations. One example concerning the ν 2 band of the CH 3 12 D symmetric-top molecule is presented. This package consists in a series of FORTRAN programs called by scripts. The whole package is freely acces…
Discrete wavelet transform based multispectral filter array demosaicking
2013
International audience; The idea of colour filter array may be adapted to multi-spectral image acquisition by integrating more filter types into the array, and developing associated demosaicking algorithms. Several methods employing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) have been proposed for CFA demosaicking. In this work, we put forward an extended use of DWT for mul-tispectral filter array demosaicking. The extension seemed straightforward, however we observed striking results. This work contributes to better understanding of the issue by demonstrating that spectral correlation and spatial resolution of the images exerts a crucial influence on the performance of DWT based demosaicking.
An unsupervised Learning Algorithm for Fatigue Crack Detection in Waveguides
2009
Ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) are a useful tool in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications that can benefit from built-in transduction, moderately large inspection ranges, and high sensitivity to small flaws. This paper describes an SHM method based on UGWs and outlier analysis devoted to the detection and quantification of fatigue cracks in structural waveguides. The method combines the advantages of UGWs with the outcomes of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to extract defect-sensitive features aimed at performing a multivariate diagnosis of damage. In particular, the DWT is exploited to generate a set of relevant wavelet coefficients to construct a uni-dimensional or multi-di…
Fractional wavelet transform
1997
The wavelet transform, which has had a growing importance in signal and image processing, has been generalized by association with both the wavelet transform and the fractional Fourier transform. Possible implementations of the new transformation are in image compression, image transmission, transient signal processing, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate the abilities of the novel transform. Optical implementation of this transform is briefly discussed.
