Modeling harmonic generation by a degenerate two-level atom
1996
An analytical theory of the generation of high-order harmonics of laser radiation has been developed on the basis of a two-level model atom with degenerate levels. Among other parameters, onset, width, and cutoff of the plateau in the harmonic spectrum are obtained in simple analytical forms that connect the basic problem parameters and permit a transparent interpretation of the mechanism underlying the spectrum formation for this specific case. Selected numerical calculations are reported to corroborate the analytical findings and to investigate other harmonic-spectrum features.
Defects in quantum ring to control high-harmonic spectrum
2017
AbstractThe high-harmonic generation from a structured quantum ring (SQR) driven by an intense laser field is presented within the single active electron approximation. The spectrum is studied by varying the symmetry of the physical system. The standard SQR (six identical and equidistant dots in a ring) presents a 60° rotational symmetry, that in this work is broken, moving or changing only one potential hole. We find that careful designed breaking of the geometrical symmetry of the SQR opens the possibility of controlling the characteristics of the harmonic lines such as intensity and polarization. HHG analysis of the emission spectrum performed through a Morlet wavelet, shows that the hig…
Confinement and high-order harmonic generation by a repulsive potential
2003
The dynamics of an electron wave packet in the presence of laser radiation and of a one-dimensional repulsive soft-core potential is investigated. For different laser intensities and for different initial positions of the electron wave packet, these results are compared with those for an attractive potential. The repulsive potential is capable of confining the electron quite efficiently under appropriate conditions. In these conditions, the electron is shown to emit a high harmonic spectrum similar to that emitted by the more conventional attractive potential. It is thus argued that recombination into an atomic bound state as required by the three step model is not essential for the emissio…
Model Predictive Control for Shunt Active Filters With Fixed Switching Frequency
2016
This paper presents a modification to the classical Model Predictive Control algorithm, named Modulated Model Predictive Control, and its application to active power filters. The proposed control is able to retain all the advantages of a Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control whilst improving the generated waveforms harmonic spectrum. In fact a modulation algorithm, based on the cost function ratio for different output vectors, is inherently included in the MPC. The cost function-based modulator is introduced and its effectiveness on reducing the current ripple is demonstrated. The presented solution provides an effective and straightforward single loop controller, maintaining an excel…
