Nonlinear analysis of phase-locked loop
2010
Abstract New method for the rigorous mathematical nonlinear analysis of PLL systems is suggested. This method allows to calculate the characteristics of phase detectors and carry out a rigorous mathematical analysis of transient process and stability of the system.
Photo-acoustic phase-delayed excitation of guided waves in coated bone phantoms
2013
Photo-acoustic skeletal quantitative ultrasound enables assessment of the fundamental flexural guided wave (FFGW) propagating in bone. This mode, consistent with the F(1,1) tube mode can now be measured through a coating of soft tissue. Interference due to ultrasound propagation in the soft tissue surrounding the bone is reduced by using phase-delayed ultrasound excitation. Photo-acoustic phase-delayed excitation was done on five axisymmetric bone phantoms (1-5 mm wall thickness), coated by a 5 mm thick soft-tissue mimicking layer. A fiber head comprising a linear array of four optical fibers (400 μm diameter), illuminated by pulsed laser diodes (905 nm wavelength) generated ultrasound. Thi…
First-Principles Calculations of Angle-Resolved and Spin-Resolved Photoemission Spectra of Cr(110) Surfaces at the2p−3dCr Resonance
2013
A first principles approach for spin- and angle-resolved resonant photoemission is developed within multiple scattering theory and applied to a Cr(110) surface at the 2p-3d resonance. The resonant photocurrent from this nonferromagnetic system is found to be strongly spin polarized by circularly polarized light, in agreement with experiments on antiferromagnetic and magnetically disordered systems. By comparing the antiferromagnetic and Pauli-paramagnetic phases of Cr, we explicitly show that the spin polarization of the photocurrent is independent of the existence of local magnetic moments, solving a long-standing debate on the origin of such polarization. New spin polarization effects are…
Full-field automatic evaluation of an isoclinic parameter in white light
1997
In this paper, a technique for full-field evaluation of the isoclinic parameter is presented. It combines the phase-shifting method with true color imaging technology to minimize the interaction between isoclinic and isochromatic fringes. The paper also shows how the proposed technique can be suitably integrated with known methods for evaluating the retardations. Furthermore, a digital algorithm for filtering wrapped phase data obtained by general phase-shifting techniques is presented.
Developments in RGB photoelasticity
2006
In this paper the combined use of both RGB and phase stepping photoelasticity is proposed. The method is characterised by the following features: maximum measurable order greater than that of the RGB method, ability to determine the total fringe order without necessity of unwrapping.
Full field automated evaluation of the quarter wave plate retardation by phase stepping technique
2002
Quarter wave plates are optical elements commonly used in photoelasticity to obtain circularly polarized light. They divide the incident light field into two linearly polarized orthogonal components with a phase difference of a quarter of the light wavelength. Due to the tolerance in manufacturing, however, the actual phase shifting produced by the plates is affected by an error, which noticeably influences the photoelastic measurements performed by means of various automated methods. This paper presents a technique, based on the phase stepping method, for the full field automatic evaluation of the quarter wave plate error.
Holographic photoelasticity: Determination of absolute retardations by a single hologram
1976
In this paper, real-time holographic interferometry is applied to determine the absolute-retardation fringes in the photoelastic analysis of plane models. The method requires only one hologram recorded with the model unloaded. In the reconstruction process, the mcdel is loaded and the polarizers on the reference and object beams are rotated through the same angle. At the points of the model where the polarization direction is parallel to one of the principal stresses, only the corresponding family of absolute retardations is obtained. The technique is demonstrated experimentally using a deep beam centrally loaded.
Different temperature renormalizations for heavy and light-hole states of monolayer-thick heterostructures
2000
Abstract We have found that the energy splitting between peaks in the linearly polarized emission from the cleaved surface of an InAs/GaAs monolayer structure triples with increasing temperature in the range from 5 to 150 K. For each polarization the main emission line corresponds to the radiative recombination of either heavy or light-hole excitons bound to the monolayer. The striking temperature behavior of the peak energies originates from the different hole–phonon coupling due to the much larger penetration of the light-hole envelope function into the GaAs. We prove this assertion by confining the light holes to the InAs plane with a strong magnetic field, which leads to a reduction of …

Modulation of the electronic properties of GaN films by surface acoustic waves
2003
We report on the interaction between photogenerated electron-hole pairs and surface acoustic waves (SAW) in GaN films grown on sapphire substrates. The spatial separation of photogenerated carriers by the piezoelectric field of the SAW is evidenced by the quenching of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity. The quenching levels in GaN are significantly smaller than those measured in GaAs under similar conditions. The latter is attributed to the lower exciton ionization efficiency and carrier separation probabilities mediated by the piezoelectric effect. The PL spectra also evidence energy shifts and broadenings of the electronic transitions, which are attributed to the band gap modulation by …
