Bicoherent-State Path Integral Quantization of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian

2020

We introduce, for the first time, bicoherent-state path integration as a method for quantizing non-hermitian systems. Bicoherent-state path integrals arise as a natural generalization of ordinary coherent-state path integrals, familiar from hermitian quantum physics. We do all this by working out a concrete example, namely, computation of the propagator of a certain quasi-hermitian variant of Swanson's model, which is not invariant under conventional $PT$-transformation. The resulting propagator coincides with that of the propagator of the standard harmonic oscillator, which is isospectral with the model under consideration by virtue of a similarity transformation relating the corresponding…

Zero rest-mass fields and the Newman-Penrose constants on flat space

2020

Zero rest-mass fields of spin 1 (the electromagnetic field) and spin 2 propagating on flat space and their corresponding Newman-Penrose (NP) constants are studied near spatial infinity. The aim of this analysis is to clarify the correspondence between data for these fields on a spacelike hypersurface and the value of their corresponding NP constants at future and past null infinity. To do so, Friedrich's framework of the cylinder at spatial infinity is employed to show that, expanding the initial data in terms spherical harmonics and powers of the geodesic spatial distance $\rho$ to spatial infinity, the NP constants correspond to the data for the second highest possible spherical harmonic …

High-order harmonic generation via bound-bound transitions in elliptically polarized laser field

2015

We use a 5-level system to investigate the HHG spectrum emitted by an atom driven by a linearly or elliptically polarized laser field. For this model the Schrodinger equation is numerically solved and we study the dipendence of the spectra, harmonic intensity and polarization of emitted radiation on the laser field ellipticity. Studying the intensity of the emitted radiation we find that un alsoder high laser ellipticity the harmonic emission is greatly reduced; the analysis of results shows that the harmonic intensity and the emitted radiation depend on the laser ellipticity.

Atomic and molecular systems, subjected to intense laser pulse, emit typical High-Order Armonic Generation (HHG) spectra. This work aims to investigate the possibility to obtain a laser device by HHG. At this end, we analyzed the emission spectra by a molecular ion driven by a linearly polarized laser field. The temporal behaviour is obtained using the Morlet wavelets transform of emission. The results show that, after filtration of the electromagnetic radiation emitted, it is possible to select a frequency which seems to have almost constant intensity and phase. This characteristic makes possible that HHG from a molecule can be used as high frequency laser fields.

Properties of the radiation Emitted by a Laser driven quantum Ring

2015

We present the electromagnetic emission from one electron confined in a quantum ring driven by an intense laser field. We consider both a plain ring and one structured by six potential wells that produce a static tangential force. Through a suitable one-dimensional model we numerically solve the associated Schroedinger equation obtaining the correspondent time evolution of the wave-function. We show that the emission is formed by a wide plateau that can be both quasi-continuum or resolved in discrete lines. We study the dependence of the emitted spectra from the polarization status of the external laser field and in particular we concentrate on the intensity of the emitted lines and of thei…

Quantum ring: HHG spectrum control

2015

Atoms, molecules , clusters and other systems driven by a strong laser field of frequency \omega_L can emit a spectrum of laser harmonics. The high harmonics generation (HHG) phenomen is strongly affected by the symmetries of the system. It is well known that systems with rotational symmetries emit only odd harmonics. Numerous researcher make mainly attention to the possibilities to set different initial conditions in order to control the spectrum. Recently, the study of nanotechnology is hot-topics and in particular the study of very symmetric systems such as fullerene, nanoring and structured nanoring (nanoring with identical and symmetric scattering centers). Therefore, it is natural and…

Harmonic emission at microwave frequencies in Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 crystals

1998

Abstract Nonlinear microwave emission by Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 crystals is investigated. Second- and third-harmonic signals are studied as a function of the temperature and the applied magnetic field at different values of the input power level. The experimental data are discussed in the framework of models previously reported in the literature. We show that there are several mechanisms responsible for harmonic emission in Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 crystals: they play a different role depending on the temperature and the intensity of the applied field. We suggest that harmonic emission at temperatures far from Tc is due to nonlinear processes in weak links or flux motion, while nonlinearity near Tc is ascribab…
