Fine structure in fragment mass-energy distribution from 238U+40Ar (275 MeV)
2003
Existence of a new feature in fragment mass-energy distribution is reported. Careful analysis of the data obtained in the reaction 238U + 40Ar (275 MeV) shows that small but statistically significant ripples visible already in the gross mass spectrum come from extended and regular 2D patterns in the TKE vs. mass matrix. Intensity distributions of these patterns coincide with the location of heavy clusters such as 78Ni, 108Mo, or 132Sn. Presumably, the observed patterns show the dominant trajectories in the elongation vs. mass-asymmetry space of the decaying system. This information, unknown in the past, can shed a new light even on the previously well-studied reactions.
All-fiber incoherent frequency-to-time mapping method for microwave signal generation with baseband transmission and multicasting support
2008
We present a proof-of-principle experiment for achieving simultaneous distribution of baseband radio-frequency data and up-conversion with broadcasting support over a passive optical network. The technique is based on an incoherent frequency-to-time mapping method for pulse shaping. Specifically, we synthesize the spectral density function of sliced ASE noise from an EDFA with a periodic Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometer optical filter. By using external intensity modulation combined with propagation in an optical fiber, after photodetection, the resultant averaged temporal pulse profile resembles the shape of the incoherent source. The photodetected signal contains both the baseband data a…
Photorefractive amplifier-converter and coherent oscillator with nonexponential gain
2001
For some parametric interactions with identically zero exponential gain for the signal wave the intensity of the idler wave can grow as a second power of the propagation coordinate. Such an amplification is revealed for the parametric mixing of four copropagating waves in BaTiO3; two of them are ordinarily polarized and the two others are extraordinarily polarized. This mixing is used to build up a coherent oscillator. A reasonable qualitative agreement of the experimental results with the calculated data is demonstrated.
Control of field-free molecular alignment by phase-shaped laser pulses
2005
We report an experimental study of the control of molecular alignment of ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ by use of spectrally modulated pulses at an intensity regime below the intrinsic saturation of the alignment. By manipulating the relative timing of the alignment revival pattern arising from the even subset of the thermal ensemble as compared to the odd subset, we demonstrate that the angular distribution of the aligned molecule can be converted into planar delocalization at specific times. We also show that the angular focusing of the molecular axis can be switched off by applying a specific bipulse.
Strong lowering of the mirrorless optical oscillation threshold by angular mismatches for nonlocal photorefractive nonlinearity.
2008
We show that the introduction of an angular mismatch for the pump waves results, in the case of nonlocal photorefractive nonlinearity, in a strong almost twofold decrease of the threshold value of the coupling strength for the mirrorless optical oscillation. This surprising feature will lead to a strong modification of the threshold and near-threshold behavior of a vast variety of optical oscillators based on the photorefractive phase conjugation and involving finite-size light beams.
Nonlinear dynamics of a semilinear photorefractive oscillator
2001
The experimental study of the dynamics of an empty coherent semilinear photorefractive oscillator is reported. It is shown that starting from a certain coupling strength the oscillation occurs with two frequencies shifted symmetrically with respect to the frequency of the pump wave. The threshold of bifurcation in oscillation spectrum depends on pump intensity ratio.
Structural similarities and differences among attractors and their intensity maps in the laser-Lorenz model
1995
Abstract Numerical studies of the laser-Lorenz model using parameters reasonably accessible for recent experiments with a single mode homogeneously broadened laser demonstrate that the form of the return map of successive peak values of the intensity changes from a sharply cusped map in resonance to a map with a smoothly rounded maximum as the laser is detuned into the period doubling regime. This transformation appears to be related to the disappearance (with detuning) of the heteroclinic structural basis for the stable manifold which exists in resonance. This is in contrast to the evidence reported by Tang and Weiss (Phys. Rev. A 49 (1994) 1296) of a cusped map for both the period doublin…
Nonperturbative treatments of nonresonant multiphoton ionization of the hydrogen atom: weak-field limit
1989
A nonperturbative treatment of the multiphoton ionization of the hydrogen atom based on the S matrix and devised for nonresonant strong-field situations is analyzed in the weak-field limit. Comparisons are presented with other S matrices as well as other nonperturbative approaches. Our treatment is found to perform generally better than similar S-matrix treatments. The usual perturbative results are recovered provided that the photon wavelengths are sufficiently short and are off resonance with the atomic transitions. Important indications are obtained as to the role of the atomic structure, the relevance of the gauge consistency, and the reliability and improvement of the present nonpertur…
Comparison between transmission and scattering spectrum reconstruction methods based on EPID images.
2013
Numerous improved physics-based methods for Linac photon spectra reconstruction have been published; some of them are based on transmission data analysis and others on scattering data. In this work, the two spectrum unfolding approaches are compared in order to experimentally validate its robustness and to determine which is the optimal methodology for application on a clinical quality assurance routine. Both studied methods are based on EPID images generated when the incident photon beam impinges onto plastic blocks. The distribution of transmitted/scatter radiation produced by this object centered at the beam field size was measured. Measurements were performed using a 6 MeV photon beam p…
Noise delayed decay of unstable states: theory versus numerical simulations
2004
We study the noise delayed decay of unstable nonequilibrium states in nonlinear dynamical systems within the framework of the overdamped Brownian motion model. We give the exact expressions for the decay times of unstable states for polynomial potential profiles and obtain nonmonotonic behavior of the decay times as a function of the noise intensity for the unstable nonequilibrium states. The analytical results are compared with numerical simulations.
