Passive Polarimetric Imaging

2014

Passive electro-optical polarimetric imaging is a form of remote sensing in which the properties associated with electromagnetic field orientation are exploited as a means to discriminate between objects in an extended scene. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce some fundamental concepts in the science of imaging polarimetry. These concepts include the Stokes-Mueller description of polarized light, the physical mechanisms that contribute to polarimetric image contrast, a mathematical description of several polarimetric imaging systems, and an example target detection algorithm. Polarimetric image contrast is discussed in terms of reflected, emitted, and scattered light. Special empha…

Semilinear photorefractive oscillator with reflection gratings

2003

We present results of calculation of the steady-state output characteristics for a semilinear photorefractive oscillator pumped with two independent counterpropagating waves when the reflection grating is operative and compare them with measurements made with a BaTiO3:Co.

Reduced dynamical equations for solid-state lasers and VCSELs

2007

It is the aim of this presentation to show that a reduction in the number of coupled equations is feasible for spatio-temporal laser models with generic values of the pump and other parameters. Reduced equations have been derived via the application of two separate, yet equivalent, methods: one based on the CM and the other on operational calculus. The long term dynamics of the reduced models for solid-state lasers and VCSELs have been compared with that of the full systems by using both mathematical methods. Extensive numerical simulations for the complex dynamics of these and other laser models become suddenly feasible within reasonable computational time.

Analytical description of lobster eye and similar multi-foil optics

2015

Analytical equations describing lobster eye optical parameters on dependence on its geometric parameters are presented. The paper partially gives review of main previously known results. At next, the paper gives new results discussing parameters, that were not included to previously published models but may be significant. The results are applicable for a Schmidt as well as for an Angel lobster eye and for some related multi-foil systems.

Dynamics of mean-field spin models from basic results in abstract differential equations

1992

The infinite-volume limit of the dynamics of (generalized) mean-field spin models is obtained through a direct analysis of the equations of motion, in a large class of representations of the spin algebra. The resulting dynamics fits into a general framework for systems with long-range interaction: variables at infinity appear in the time evolution of local variables and spontaneous symmetry breaking with an energy gap follows from this mechanism. The independence of the construction of the approximation scheme in finite volume is proven. © 1992 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

Noise-induced effects in population dynamics

2002

We investigate the role of noise in the nonlinear relaxation of two ecosystems described by generalized Lotka-Volterra equations in the presence of multiplicative noise. Specifically we study two cases: (i) an ecosystem with two interacting species in the presence of periodic driving; (ii) an ecosystem with a great number of interacting species with random interaction matrix. We analyse the interplay between noise and periodic modulation for case (i) and the role of the noise in the transient dynamics of the ecosystem in the presence of an absorbing barrier in case (ii). We find that the presence of noise is responsible for the generation of temporal oscillations and for the appearance of s…

Stimulated nutation echo: application to the driven decoherence study

2003

We study experimentally the dynamical and decay properties of the stimulated nutation echo (SNE) in a two-level spin system, the signal of which allows the observation timescale of the driven coherence relaxation to be extended. This signal appears in the transient response of the system to the second pulse at time τ1 from its start and coinciding with the duration of the first pulse. The information about the first pulse duration is imprinted into the population difference of the inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of the two-level absorbers. The decay of the SNE signal has two contributions. One originates from the population decay during the time τ between the two pulses. Another is cause…

Analysis of equations arising in gyrotron theory

2012

The gyrotron is a microwave source whose operation is based on the stimulated cyclotron radiation of electrons oscillating in a static magnetic field. Powerful gyrotrons can be used to heat nuclear fusion plasma. In addition, they have found a wide utility in plasma diagnostics, plasma chemistry, radars, extra-high-resolution spectroscopy, high-temperature processing of materials, medicine, etc. However, the main application of gyrotrons is in electron cyclotron resonance heating in tokamaks and stellarators. Equations describing gyrotron operation are ordinary differential equations and Schrödinger type partial differential equations. The present paper provides a survey of the analytical a…

Coupled fluid-flow and magnetic-field simulation of the Riga dynamo experiment

2006

Magnetic fields of planets, stars, and galaxies result from self-excitation in moving electroconducting fluids, also known as the dynamo effect. This phenomenon was recently experimentally confirmed in the Riga dynamo experiment [ A. Gailitis et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4365 (2000) ; A. Gailitis et al., Physics of Plasmas 11, 2838 (2004) ], consisting of a helical motion of sodium in a long pipe followed by a straight backflow in a surrounding annular passage, which provided adequate conditions for magnetic-field self-excitation. In this paper, a first attempt to simulate computationally the Riga experiment is reported. The velocity and turbulence fields are modeled by a finite-volume Navi…
