Role of dispersion on zero-average-index bandgaps
2009
We consider periodic multilayers combining ordinary positive index materials and dispersive metamaterials with negative index in some frequency ranges. These structures can exhibit photonic bandgaps which, in contrast with the usual Bragg gaps, are not based on interference mechanisms. Changing the dispersion models for the constituent metamaterial, we investigate its role in the production of zero-average-index bandgaps. In particular, we show the effect of each constitutive parameter on both bandgap edges. Finally, we give some approximated analytical expressions in terms of average parameters for the determination of the upper and lower limits of the zero-average refractive-index bandgap…
Variational Cluster Methods in Coordinate Space for Small Systems: Center of Mass Corrections Made Easy
1991
A reexamination of the center of mass problem for light systems in the context of coupled cluster theory has produced a new variational version of the method which is developed entirely in coordinate space. It involves independent cluster functions which depend only on the relative coordinates of the subclusters of the system. In applications to the 4He nucleus described via a number of phenomenological and quasirealistic microscopic Wigner potentials, the method is shown to be quantitatively rather accurate, producing in all cases almost exact results for the ground-state energies at the SUB(3) level of approximation.
Misbeliefs and misunderstandings about the non-Markovian dynamics of a damped harmonic oscillator
2003
We use the exact solution for the damped harmonic oscillator to discuss some relevant aspects of its open dynamics often mislead or misunderstood. We compare two different approximations both referred to as Rotating Wave Approximation. Using a specific example, we clarify some issues related to non--Markovian dynamics, non--Lindblad type dynamics, and positivity of the density matrix.
Multipole solitary wave solutions of the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with quintic non-Kerr terms
2013
We consider a high-order nonlinear Schrodinger (HNLS) equation with third- and fourth-order dispersions, quintic non-Kerr terms, self steepening, and self-frequency-shift effects. The model applies to the description of ultrashort optical pulse propagation in highly nonlinear media. We propose a complex envelope function ansatz composed of single bright, single dark and the product of bright and dark solitary waves that allows us to obtain analytically different shapes of solitary wave solutions. Parametric conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such solitary waves are presented. The solutions comprise fundamental solitons, kink and anti-kink solitons, W-shaped, dipole, tripole, and…
Slow-light solitons: Influence of relaxation
2008
We have applied the transformation of the slow-light equations to the Liouville theory that we developed in our previous work, to study the influence of relaxation on the soliton dynamics. We solved the problem of the soliton dynamics in the presence of relaxation and found that the spontaneous emission from the upper atomic level is strongly suppressed. Our solution proves that the spatial shape of the soliton is well preserved even if the relaxation time is much shorter than the soliton time length. This fact is of great importance for applications of the slow-light soliton concept in optical information processing. We also demonstrate that relaxation plays a role of resistance to the sol…
Triple magnetopolarons in quantum wells
1997
We derive the equations for eigenstates and eigenenergies of a triple magnetopolaron in quantum-well structures. An iteration procedure for obtaining the wave function and energy including the contributions of diagrams with crossing phonon lines is given. We show that under conditions of exact resonance the middle energy branch of the triply split magnetopolaron state consists of only two out of three bare states. We suggest the experimental verification of this prediction.
Dynamical behaviour of an XX central spin model through Bethe ansatz techniques
2009
Following the Bethe ansazt procedure the exact dynamics of an XX central spin model is revealed. Particular initial conditions are analyzed and the consequent time evolution is compared with the exact solution obtained by solving the time-dependent Schrudinger equation. The interest towards spin systems and in particular central spin systems, is motivated by the recent developments in more applicative contexts.
Pair and triple correlations in theA+B→Bdiffusion-controlled reaction
1994
An exact solution for the one-dimensional kinetics of the diffusion-controlled reaction A+B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}B is obtained by means of the three-particle correlation functions. Because of a lattice discreteness each site could be occupied by a single particle only which leads to the so-called ``bus effect'': Recombination of any particle A is defined by a spatial configuration of two nearest particles B only surrounding A from its left and right. This results in the unusual algebraic decay law, n(t)\ensuremath{\propto}${\mathit{t}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$, which asymptotically (as t\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}) does not depend on the trap B concentration.
m-bonacci metamaterial multilayers: location of the zero-average index bandgap edges
2009
We examine quasiperiodic multilayers arranged in m-bonacci sequences, which combine ordinary positiveindex materials and dispersive metamaterials with negative index in a certain frequency range. When the volume-averaged refractive index of the nonperiodic multilayer equals zero, the structure does not propagate light radiation and exhibits a forbidden band. We identify some analytical expressions to determine the upper and lower limits of the above zero-average refractive-index bandgap. We recognize that these limits are not explicitly dependent on the geometrical parameters of the stack of layers. © 2009 Optical Society of America. Fil: Monsoriu, J.A..

Bright and dark optical solitons in fiber media with higher-order effects
2002
We consider N-coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrodinger (N-CHNLS) equations which govern the simultaneous propagation of N optical fields in fiber media with higher-order effects. Bright and dark soliton solutions are derived using Hirota bilinear method for the general cross-coupling ratio between the parameters of self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation effects. By means of coupled amplitude-phase formulation also, similar kind of dark soliton solutions are obtained. It is found that the parametric conditions for the simultaneous propagation of N dark solitons from both the methods are the same.
