Compton散射对短脉冲强激光在次临界等离子体中自聚焦的影响

应用相对论理论和多光子非线性Compton散射模型,研究了Compton散射对短脉冲强激光在次临界等离子体中自聚焦的影响,提出了将入射光和Compton散射光作为形成激光自聚焦的新机制,给出了三级电流密度满足的修正方程,并进行了数值模拟。结果表明,相对论效应使等离子体中的短脉冲强激光自聚焦趋势减缓,而散射则加速了自聚焦的发展,总自聚焦趋势比无相对论时来得快一些,主要原因是由于散射光和入射光形成的耦合光频率较入射光频率增大,散射效应补偿了因相对论效应引起的自聚焦减缓效应的缘故。

用光散射研究部分相容聚合物共混物的相间过渡层(英文)

在光散射的理论中 ,密度均方起伏η2在两相完全不相容的体系中 (界面间也不存在相互粘附 )η2 =Φ1Φ2 (α1-α2 )。对于界面间有相互作用或形成一定的相容区时 ,η2将变小 ,则有η2 =(α2 -α1) 2 (φ1φ2 -φ3/6)。α1、α2 为两组元分别的极化率 ,φ1、φ2 为两组元的体积分数。本文根据部分相容的聚合物共混体系中的分散相尺寸γ和积分不变量θ,可计算出φ3,并提出相间弥散层的概念 ,进而计算出弥散层的厚度 d,从而发展了光散射理论。激光小角散射计算的弥散层厚度 d与 X光小角散射计算的界面层厚度σb是相对应的。在计算中应用相关距离 ac代替分散性尺寸γ是可行的 (也可用均方旋转半径 R2g代替 )。文中给出了 PA6/PP合金的弥散层厚度 d和界面层厚度σb的计算结果 ,同时给出了 HIPS/Pc BR合金在熔体动态过程中两相间弥散层厚度的变化

Observation of bright spatial photorefractive solitons in a planar strontium barium niobate waveguide

We have obtained stationary bright spatial solitons in a planar photorefractive strontium barium niobate waveguide for visible light ranging from 514.5 to 780 nm. Even for larger wavelengths (lambda=1047 nm) strong self-focusing of the beam was observed; however, input power had to be some orders of magnitude higher than for visible light for self-focusing to occur. Furthermore, we found transient self-trapping of red light (lambda=632.8 nm) that corresponds to the formation of bright quasi-steady-state solitons.     

Scattering of partially polarized light by aligned atoms

A compact expression for the cross section of scattering of an arbitrarily polarized light by aligned atomic systems is obtained, in which the dependence on the geometric parameters and the Stokes parameters specifying the state of partial polarization of the incident radiation is represented in explicit form. The effect of atomic alignment and the processes of dissipation of the light energy on the polarization specific features and the angular distribution of the scattered light is investigated. In particular, it is shown that, if a dissipative channel is accessible, the angular distribution and the degree of linear polarization of scattered light depend on the degree of circular polarization of the incident radiation η₂. Dissipative processes also induce the circular polarization of the light scattered by aligned atoms when η₂=0.     

Self-Focusing of a Light Beam in a Medium with Relativistic Nonlinearity: New Analytical Solutions

In contrast to the existing theories of the relativistic self-focusing of a light beam in a plasma, the problem of a steady self-focusing light beam with a given input Gaussian radial intensity distribution has been analytically solved approximately with the use of a renormalization group approach. Depending on the parameters of the plasma and laser beam, solutions describing its longitudinal–radial waveguide structure have been obtained. These solutions demonstrate three characteristic types of relativistic self-focusing: (i) self-focusing on an axis, (ii) self-focusing in the form of a tubular channel, and (iii) self-trapping distribution.     

Mixing of pseudoscalar mesons and M1 radiative decays

We discuss the mixing of pseudoscalar mesons, in particular SU(3) breaking effects, based on ideas abstracted from QCD. The admixtures of η and η′ in η_c are calculated and utilized to estimate the M1 radiative decays ψ → ηγ, η′γ. A reasonably consistent picture emerges for these decays as well as others involving only the light quarks.     

Self-focusing of elliptically shaped high-power laser beams in a fully ionized plasma

The effect of self-focusing of a high-power light beam with an elliptical cross-section in a strongly ionised plasma has been evaluated. The mechanism of self-focusing considered is non-uniform heating of plasma by an electromagnetic wave having transverse variation of amplitude along its wave front. The heating causes redistribution of carriers which lead to a nonlinear relationship between the electron density and the electric vector and hence to a field-dependent effective dielectric constant. It is found that the beam gets focused at different focal points in different directions exhibiting the effect of astigmatism. There are several critical powers, below thex=0,y=0 planes; at higher powers one dimension focuses while the other defocusses, an oscillatory waveguide is formed in both dimensions. Above the highest critical power both dimensions self-focus, the dimensionless beam width parametersf ₁ andf ₂ forx andy focusing reach different minima corresponding to different self-focusing distances beyond which both dimensions continue diverging. The effect of energy loss through absorption from the beam has also been considered. It has been observed that absorption brings about a reduction in the extent of self-focusing and favours defocusing of the beam.     

Rytov transformation in the problem of the self-focusing of a light beam

A method of the complex phase of the envelope of a light field has been proposed for the problem of the self-focusing of a beam in a medium with cubic nonlinearity. The complex phase has been introduced by means of the Rytov transformation. Boundary conditions have been obtained under the assumption that the light fields at the periphery of the beam undergoing self-focusing and linear diffraction coincide with each other. The transition from the slowly varying amplitude to its complex phase provides a significant expansion of the ranges of the amplitude and intensity in the light beam in theoretical investigations. The applicability of the complex phase method is illustrated on particular examples.     

A new representation of the interaction between an atom and an intense elliptically polarized electromagnetic field

A new representation of the interaction between a laser field and an atom is obtained. The Fourier component of the interaction is represented as a multipole expansion dependent on the force parameter of the field, a ₀=F/ω², and the degree of its ellipticity, η. This representation provides the analytical separation of the angles in the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The stationary spherically symmetric part of the potential V ₀(r, a ₀, η) of a “field-dressed” atom is singled out. The application of the new representation to the calculation of nonlinear effects and electron scattering by an atom in a field are discussed     

Shifting bright spatial solitons in LiNbO₃

We observe spatial bright solitons in a transversely shifting LiNbO₃ crystal. In this scheme, the photovoltaic nonlinearity in LiNbO₃ can be switched from self-defocusing to self-focusing by continuous shifting of the beam. Moreover, the shifting velocity has a strong influence on the wave shape of the bright spatial solitons.     

Theoretical description of low divergence Gaussian fields in self-defocusing photorefractive media

Experimental evidence is presented that shows that low intensity optical fields preserve their Gaussian transverse amplitude distribution as they propagate through self-defocusing Ce:BaTiO₃ photorefractive media. The Gaussian nature of the field is used in a theoretical treatment to derive conditions under which bright solitons are formed in photorefractive media that have a light induced refractive index that is approximately quadratic. This analysis shows that while it is not possible to produce a single bright soliton in self-defocusing media that it is possible to minimize the field’s divergence such that the change in beam radius is small (<1%) over large propagation distances (∼1 m). An imaginary light induced refractive index component is necessary to generate the low divergence fields in both self-focusing and self-defocusing media when illuminated with Gaussian fields that have a non-planar wavefront.     

Slow-light spatial solitons

We numerically and experimentally report the observation of slow-light spatial solitons in a Kerr medium owing to light amplification by stimulated Raman scattering. This was achieved in a CS2 nonlinear planar waveguide that possesses both a strong self-focusing nonlinearity to generate the spatial Raman soliton and a Raman susceptibility sharp enough to induce the slow-light process simultaneously. We show that the Raman Stokes component is optically delayed by more than 120 ps for a 140 ps Raman pulse duration and only 3 cm of propagation length, while propagating as a spatial soliton beam.
