Optical Bloch-mode-induced quasi phase matching of quadratic interactions in one-dimensional photonic crystals
2004
We examine in detail the quasi-phase-matching process obtained as a stationary modulation of the fundamental field at the band edge of a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal. The treatment is carried out in terms of the structure Bloch waves and fully explains the behavior of second-harmonic generation in the grating. An integrated microstructured AlGaAs mesa waveguide is proposed that gives efficient second-harmonic and difference-frequency generation in virtue of the combined presence of a periodic modulation of the fundamental-field amplitude and of the photonic bandgap edge.
Dispersion-to-spectrum mapping in nonlinear fibers based on optical wave-breaking
2013
In this work we recognize new strategies involving optical wave-breaking for controlling the output pulse spectrum in nonlinear fibers. To this end, first we obtain a constant of motion for nonlinear pulse propagation in waveguides derived from the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In a second phase, using the above conservation law we theoretically analyze how to transfer in a simple manner the group-velocity-dispersion curve of the waveguide to the output spectral profile of pulsed light. Finally, the computation of several output spectra corroborates our proposition.
Two-photon exchange correction to2S−2Psplitting in muonicHe3ions
2017
We calculate the two-photon exchange correction to the Lamb shift in muonic $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ ions within the dispersion relations framework. Part of the effort entailed making analytic fits to the electron-$^{3}\mathrm{He}$ quasielastic scattering data set, for purposes of doing the dispersion integrals. Our result is that the energy of the $2S$ state is shifted downwards by two-photon exchange effects by 15.14(49) meV, in good accord with the result obtained from a potential model and effective field theory calculation.
Quantum Coherence Effects in One-Dimensional Chains with Inelastic Scattering
1991
To describe the ballistic transport in a 1 D chain Landauer [1] has calculated the resistance R of a series of elastic scatterers from their transmission coefficient T $$R = \frac{h}{{{e^2}}}\frac{{1 - T}}{T}$$ (1) This relation implies complete quantum coherence between incident and all backscattered waves. Dephasing due to irreversible processes has been introduced into this model by Buttiker [2] who added inelastic scatterers coupled to an external heat bath to the chain. In this way it is possible to describe also certain dissipative aspects of electron transport. However, his approach does not allow to study the gradual transition from coherent to incoherent transport with increasing s…
Inelastic neutron scattering by coupled rotational and translational modes in KCN
1980
The TA [100] phonon branch of the molecular crystal KCN was studied by inelastic neutron scattering in the cubic phase. In addition the distribution of the quasielastic scattered neutrons was investigated. The results are analysed by assuming a coupling of the phonon modes to the rotational degrees of freedom of the CN-dumb-bells which are regarded as a system of interacting quadrupoles. A good description of the present results and also of the existing ultrasonic and Brillouin data is achieved by a simple model which uses a single collective rotational mode of finite excitation energy and line width.
Microscopic Study of Pionic Atoms and Methods of Production
1992
We have constructed a theoretical optical potential for pionic atoms and low energy pions based on the first and second order terms of a many body expansion on the number of ph excitations. The new density dependence of the potential produces notoriously improved results in the problem of the anomalies. On the other hand we have separated the different contributions to the imaginary part of the potential and relate them to the different reaction channels, quasielastic and absorption. The agreement with the data for different channels, energies and nuclei is rather good with some isolated discrepancies. With this potential we have also investigated the deeply bound pionic states in heavy nuc…
Influence of the time-coherence of light on the absorption lineshapes of low-pressure gases
2001
Abstract A property of ultrashort laser pulses, their redshift by interaction with matter, is extended to ordinary time-incoherent light by a change of the scale of time. It appears that the matter must be a gas at a pressure uncommonly low in the labs, and that the gas must have a hyperfine structure. The relative frequency shift is constant as a Doppler shift; the images are not blurred because the interaction is space-coherent. In the presence of a redshift, the absorption lines cannot be seen because they are as wide as the shift. This interaction may produce a part of the cosmological redshift, the energy lost at high frequencies being transferred to the 2.7 K radiation. The interactio…
COS B observation of high-energy γ radiation from 3C273
1978
THE discovery of a high-energy γ-ray source at α(1950) = 12h 29 min±6 min, δ(1950)= +3°±1.5° is reported here. Arguments are given for the identification with 3C273. If this identification is correct, the γ-ray luminosity of 3C273 in the energy range 50–500 MeV is 2×1046 erg s−1 for H0 = 60 km s−1 Mpc−1.
Numerical study on the limit of quasi-static approximation for plasmonic nanosphere
2019
Plasmonic nanospheres are often employed as resonant substrates in many nanophotonic applications, like in enhanced spectroscopy, near-field microscopy, photovoltaics, and sensing. Accurate calculation and tuning of optical responses of such nanospheres are essential to achieve optimal performance. Mie theory is widely used to calculate optical properties of spherical particles. Although, an approximated version of Mie approach, the quasi-static approximation (QSA) can also be used to determine the very same properties of those spheres with a lot simpler formulations. In this work, we report our numerical study on the limit and accuracy of QSA with respect to the rigorous Mie approach. We c…
Billiards in magnetic fields: A molecular dynamics approach
2009
We present a computational scheme based on classical molecular dynamics to study chaotic billiards in static external magnetic fields. The method allows to treat arbitrary geometries and several interacting particles. We test the scheme for rectangular single-particle billiards in magnetic fields and find a sequence of regularity islands at integer aspect ratios. In the case of two Coulomb-interacting particles the dynamics is dominated by chaotic behavior. However, signatures of quasiperiodicity can be identified at weak interactions, as well as regular trajectories at strong magnetic fields. Our scheme provides a promising tool to monitor the classical limit of many-electron semiconductor…
