Role of pump diffraction on the stability of localized structures in degenerate optical parametric oscillators.

2000

We show that the stability range of localized structures (LS's) in the form of minimum size phase domains in degenerate optical parametric oscillators is enhanced by increasing the diffraction of the pump wave. Pump diffraction enhances spatial oscillations of decaying tails of domain boundaries, whereas spatially oscillating (weakly decaying) tails prevent the collapse of LS's, enhance their stability range, and allow the existence of more complex LS's in the form of molecules.

Experimental approach to transverse wave-number selection in cavity nonlinear optics

2004

Spontaneous transverse pattern formation is experimentally studied in a ${\text{BaTiO}}_{3}$ photorefractive oscillator under degenerate four-wave mixing conditions. A near self-imaging resonator of high Fresnel number and quasi-one-dimensional in the transverse plane is used. A fine control technique of the cavity detuning, $\ensuremath{\Omega}$, is described. It allows a precise study of the relation of $\ensuremath{\Omega}$ with the transverse wave number ${k}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ of the roll patterns selected by the system. The law ${k}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}^{2}=\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\Omega}∕a$ is verified, which evidences that wave-number selection is mainly dictated by the cavity …

Variational Study of3HeDroplets

1999

We report variational calculations of energies of ${}^{3}{\mathrm{He}}_{N}$ droplets ( $20\ensuremath{\le}N\ensuremath{\le}40$), using Aziz atom-atom interactions. The trial wave function has a simple structure, combining two- and three-body correlation functions coming from a translationally invariant configuration-interaction description, superimposed to a Jastrow-type correlated wave function with backflow. We find that the smallest bound drop has $N\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}35$ atoms, and that for each $N$ the minimum energy states have the highest spin values.

Dissipation evidence for the quantum damped harmonic oscillator via pseudo-bosons

2011

It is known that a self-adjoint, time-independent hamiltonian can be defined for the quantum damped harmonic oscillator. We show here that the two vacua naturally associated to this operator, when expressed in terms of pseudo-bosonic lowering and raising operators, appear to be non square-integrable. This fact is interpreted as the evidence of the dissipation effect of the classical oscillator at a purely quantum level.

Iodine on a magnetized iron film evidence for a magnetic coupling

1993

Abstract Spin-resolved photoelectron spectra of iodine chemisorbed on a magnetized iron (110) surface have been taken using unpolarized VUV light. The partial spin spectra reveal the I 5p x and 5p z signals being split by up to 0.35 eV. This exchange splitting occurs due to hybridization of adsorbate and substrate bands as a consequence of the chemical bond of the halogen atoms to the iron surface.

Quantum beats from dressed three-level atoms

1983

Abstract By extending a previously developed unitary transformation technique to dress three-level atoms by a strong driving radiation field, we show that quantum beats can be induced by the presence of the driving field also when the decay channels lead from a singlet to a doublet of lower energy. A qualitative explanation of this effect is presented, which is based on the quantum theory of measurement.

Turing Patterns in Nonlinear Optics

2000

The phenomenon of pattern formation in nonlinear optical resonators is commonly related to an off-resonance excitation mechanism, where patterns occur due to mismatch between the excitation and resonance frequency. In this paper we show that the patterns in nonlinear optics can also occur due to the interplay between diffractions of coupled field components. The reported mechanism is analogous to that of local activation and lateral inhibition found in reaction-diffusion systems by Turing. We study concretely the degenerate optical parametric oscillators. A local activator-lateral inhibitor mechanism is responsible for generation of Turing patterns in form of hexagons.

Relativistic, model-independent, multichannel $2\to2$ transition amplitudes in a finite volume

2016

We derive formalism for determining $\textbf{2} + \mathcal J \to \textbf{2}$ infinite-volume transition amplitudes from finite-volume matrix elements. Specifically, we present a relativistic, model-independent relation between finite-volume matrix elements of external currents and the physically observable infinite-volume matrix elements involving two-particle asymptotic states. The result presented holds for states composed of two scalar bosons. These can be identical or non-identical and, in the latter case, can be either degenerate or non-degenerate. We further accommodate any number of strongly-coupled two-scalar channels. This formalism will, for example, allow future lattice QCD calcu…

Floquet perturbative analysis for STIRAP beyond the rotating wave approximation

2009

We present a perturbative analysis of Floquet eigenstates in the context of two delayed laser processes (STIRAP) in three level systems. We show the efficiency of a systematic perturbative development which can be applied as long as no non-linear resonances occur.

Interference effect in lepton number violating and conserving meson decays for a left-right symmetric model

2021

We study the effect of interference on the lepton number violating~(LNV) and lepton number conserving~(LNC) three-body meson decays $M_1^{+}\to l_i^{+} l_j^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$, that arise in a TeV scale Left Right Symmetric model~(LRSM) with degenerate or nearly degenerate right handed~(RH) neutrinos. LRSM contains three RH neutrinos and a RH gauge boson. The RH neutrinos with masses in the range of $M_N \sim$ (MeV - few GeV) can give resonant enhancement in the semi-leptonic LNV and LNC meson decays. In the case, where only one RH neutrino contributes to these decays, the predicted new physics branching ratio of semi-leptonic LNV and LNC meson decays $M_1^{+}\to l_i^{+} l_j^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $M_…
