Entanglement of Resonantly Coupled Field Modes in Cavities with Vibrating Boundaries

We study time dependence of various measures of entanglement (covariance entanglement coefficient, purity entanglement coefficient, normalized distance coefficient, entropy coefficients) between resonantly coupled modes of the electromagnetic field in ideal cavities with oscillating boundaries. Two types of cavities are considered — a three-dimensional cavity possessing eigenfrequencies ₃ = 3₁, whose wall oscillates at the frequency _w = 2₁, and a one-dimensional (Fabry–Perot) cavity with an equidistant spectrum _n = n₁ where the distance between perfect mirrors oscillates at the frequencies ₁ and 2₁. The behavior of entanglement measures in these cases turns out to be completely different, although all three coefficients demonstrate qualitatively similar time dependences in each case (except some specific situations where the covariance entanglement coefficient based on traces of covariance submatrices seems to be essentially more sensitive to entanglement than other measures, which are based on determinants of covariance submatrices). Different initial states of the field, namely, vacuum, squeezed vacuum, thermal, Fock, and even/odd coherent states, are considered.     

Plasmon‐Enhanced Second‐ and Third‐Order Harmonic Generation in Spherical Free‐Electron Nanoclusters with Diffuse Surface

The nonlinear scattering of a laser pulse off spherical nanoclusters with free electrons and with a diffuse surface is examined in the collisionless hydrodynamics approximation in the framework of perturbation theory with respect to the laser pulse intensity, as well as of the steady‐state approximation. In a previous publication [S.V. Fomichev and W. Becker, Phys. Rev. A 81 , 063201 (2010)] we reported the full nonlinear hydrodynamic model of forced collective electron motion confined to a cluster with diffuse surface and introduced two different perturbation theories corresponding to different laser intensity regimes. In the current paper, in the framework of this hydrodynamic model we focus on the properties of plasmon resonance‐enhanced third‐harmonic generation in a spherical cluster and its dependence on the shape of its diffuse surface whose role increases for nonlinear processes. At the same time, the quadrupole second‐harmonic generation in a spherical cluster is also inspected as a necessary intermediate step. Both cold metal clusters in vacuum or in a dielectric surrounding and hot laser‐heated and laser‐ionized clusters are considered within the same approach for a wide range of the fundamental laser frequency. Nonlinear laser excitation of the dipole plasmon Mie resonance in spherical clusters, as well as of other respective multipole plasmon resonances is investigated analytically and numerically in detail (position, width, and strength) versus the cluster‐surface diffuseness, the outer ionization degree in charged clusters, the electron‐density diffuseness, and their interplay. Under certain conditions, depending on the various cluster parameters, different secondary nonlinear resonances are found. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Normal‐Mode Splitting in a Weakly Coupled Electromechanical System with a Mechanical Modulation

Normal‐mode splitting (NMS) is one of the most significant manifestations of strongly coupled systems. Here, NMS is shown to occur in a weakly coupled electromechanical system. In this system, an exponentially enhanced electromechanical coupling is obtained by periodically modulating the electromechanical interaction and the mechanical spring constant. Under the mechanical modulation, an obvious NMS can occur in the fluctuation spectra of the mechanical oscillator's displacement and the output field. Besides, the Stokes and anti‐Stokes fields can also display an obvious NMS. Interestingly, the Stokes field can be changed from full absorption to significant amplification, and the anti‐Stokes field can also be enhanced significantly. Another novel feature of the results is that the intensity between the two peaks in NMS is almost zero, which means that the two peaks can be well resolved in experiments. This work presents an effective method for the generation of a well‐resolved NMS in a weakly coupled system.
