A New Software Tool for Design, Optimization, and Complete Analysis of Rotating Electrical Machines Windings
2015
In this paper, a new software tool developed by the authors for ac winding design, optimization, and complete analysis is presented. In particular, this software can be used as a valid aid in design and analysis for a wide variety of motor and generator windings with generic number of phases (including the case of those machines in which some slots are left empty), pole pairs, slot number, and so on. The calculation of winding factors and the evaluation of their harmonic distribution is also accomplished. The software is implemented in the MATLAB programming environment. By means of some examples, covering the most relevant winding types, the capabilities of this software will be shown. In …
Diffractive optics for spectral tuning of second harmonic and supercontinuum generated in nonlinear crystals
2011
It is shown that diffractive lenses can tune the spectrum of femtosecond pulses after nonlinear optical processes. We focus on spectra of second-order pulses generated in birefringent crystals and supercontinuum in sapphire crystals. The tunability is achieved by changing the relative distance between the nonlinear crystal and the diffractive lens.
Behaviour of the non-linear optical material KTiOPO4in the temperature range 293-973 K studied by x-ray diffractometry at high resolution: alkaline d…
1999
The crystal structure of potassium titanyl phosphate, KTiOPO4 (space group Pna21), has been refined at room temperature, at 673 K, and at 973 K, by using accurate single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques at high resolution (dmin = 0.35 A). The data show a large amount of anharmonic motion of the potassium ions, increasing with temperature. To describe this motion, two models are developed: a normal refinement including potassium anharmonic thermal displacement parameters, which describes the average motion of the alkaline sites, and another model in which the potassium sites are split within the harmonic approximation and the displacements of the potassium ions versus temperature are des…
Fast algorithms for free-space diffraction patterns calculation
1999
Here we present a fast algorithm for Fresnel integral calculation. Some fast algorithms using the fast Fourier transform are analysed and their performance has been checked. These methods are of easy implementation, but are only valid for a specific range of distances. Fast algorithms based on the Fractional Fourier transform allow accurate evaluation of the Fresnel integral from object to Fraunhofer domain in a single step.
Third-harmonic light polarization control in magnetically resonant silicon metasurfaces
2021
Nonlinear metasurfaces have become prominent tools for controlling and engineering light at the nanoscale. Usually, the polarization of the total generated third harmonic is studied. However, diffraction orders may present different polarizations. Here, we design an high quality factor silicon metasurface for third harmonic generation and perform back focal plane imaging of the diffraction orders, which present a rich variety of polarization states. Our results demonstrate the possibility of tailoring the polarization of the generated nonlinear diffraction orders paving the way to a higher degree of wavefront control.
Order-disorder evolution in solid solutions of the NLO material KTiOPO : K Rb TiOPO and K Rb TiOPO in the temperature range 293-973 K
2000
K0.88Rb0.12TiOPO4 and K0.465Rb0.535TiOPO4 solid solutions of the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO4, space group Pna21) family, are described at 293, 473, 673, 873 and at 973 K. Their high resolution structures are obtained by using accurate single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at high resolution, (sin A-1. Large anharmonic motion of alkaline ions increasing with temperature allows the evolution of the rubidium and potassium ions repartition in the two alkaline sites versus temperature. To describe this motion inducing ionic conductivity phenomenon and to determine accurately the order-disorder evolution, two alkaline site refinement models are developed and discussed. A thermodyna…
High-pressure phase ofLaPO4studied by x-ray diffraction and second harmonic generation
2016
The pressure-induced phase transition of monazite-type ${\mathrm{LaPO}}_{4}$ at $\ensuremath{\approx}26$ GPa is studied by single-crystal x-ray diffraction and second harmonic generation (SHG) up to 31 GPa. The structure of the postmonazite phase of ${\mathrm{LaPO}}_{4}$ has been obtained and it is shown that it corresponds to a post-barite-type structure with an acentric space group $P{2}_{1}{2}_{1}{2}_{1}$. A strong increase of the SHG signal at the transition confirms that the high-pressure polymorph is noncentrosymmetric. The phase transition involves a significant discontinuous decrease of the unit-cell volume by 6%, which is mainly due to a strong contraction of the $a$ lattice parame…
Diffraction management and sub-diffractive solitons in periodically driven Bose–Einstein condensates
2009
Abstract We theoretically investigate the diffraction management in Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in one- (1D), two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) geometries. The management technique is based on the superposition of harmonic lattices’ potentials moving at a common speed but in different directions, leading to a harmonic spatio-temporal modulation of the potential. In this way a reduction in, and eventually the disappearance of usual diffraction and emergence of fourth-order diffraction are achieved. We show sub-diffractive solitons in such a diffraction managed system and demonstrate their stability in 1D, 2D and 3D. In 2D and 3D cases we investigate diffraction management by lattices…
Dispersion Compensation in Holograms Reconstructed by Femtosecond Light Pulses
2014
This chapter describes how the spatiotemporal dispersion associated with the diffraction of broadband femtosecond light pulses through computer generated holograms (CGHs) can be compensated to a first order with a properly designed dispersion compensation module (DCM). The angular dispersion of the beam associated to CGHs leads to both spatial and temporal distortion of the pulse. Some experiments in one-shot second harmonic generation, wide-field two-photon microscopy, and parallel micromachining are shown to study the quality of the compensation performed with the DCM.
Perron's method for the porous medium equation
2016
O. Perron introduced his celebrated method for the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions in 1923. The method produces two solution candidates for given boundary values, an upper solution and a lower solution. A central issue is then to determine when the two solutions are actually the same function. The classical result in this direction is Wiener’s resolutivity theorem: the upper and lower solutions coincide for all continuous boundary values. We discuss the resolutivity theorem and the related notions for the porous medium equation ut −∆u = 0
