Generalized wave coupling theory of linear electro-optic effect in absorbent medium

Starting from Maxwell’s equations and considering the linear electro-optic effect as a perturbation, we present a generalized wave coupling theory of linear electro-optic effect in absorbent medium. We give the rigorous solution of the resultant equations for a light wave propagating along any direction with an external dc electric field along an arbitrary direction. As an application, we use the theory to discuss the influence of absorption on the light wave in a KTP crystal. The results demonstrate that the absorption coefficients influence not only the amplitude but also the phase of the light wave.     

Vibration characteristics of aluminum surface subjected to ultrasonic waves and their effect on wetting behavior of solder droplets

The vibration characteristics of an aluminum surface subjected to ultrasonic waves were investigated with a combination of numerical simulation and experimental testing. The wetting behavior of solder droplets on the vibrating aluminum surface was also examined. The results show that the vibration pattern of the aluminum surface is inhomogeneous. The amplitude of the aluminum surface exceeds the excitation amplitude in some zones, while the amplitude decreases nearly to zero in other zones. The distribution of the zero-amplitude zones is much less dependent on the strength of the vibration than on the location of the vibration source. The surface of the liquid solder vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency that is higher than the vibration source, and the amplitude of the liquid solder is almost twice that of the aluminum surface. The vibration of the surface of the base metal (liquid solder) correlates with the oxide film removal effect. Significant removal of the oxide film can be achieved within 2 s when the amplitude of the aluminum surface is higher than 5.4 μm or when the amplitude of the liquid solder surface is higher than 10.2 μm.     

Optical holography of diatomic small nanostructure objects and the near-field effect: Dimensional resonances at normal incidence of external optical radiation on a small object

The interaction of an atomic group occupying a volume with linear dimensions which are considerably smaller than the length of an external light wave is considered. On the basis of the joint set of equations for the electric field strength of the light wave and the optical equations for linear dipole oscillators, the self-consistent problem of determination of the field at the points of location of the atoms, as well as at different points of observation outside the atomic group (a small object) in the wave and near-field zones, is solved. An optical plane hologram of a small object is obtained by way of interference of the coherent field of dipoles of the object and a reference coherent wave in a certain plane of observation points far from the object in the wave zone. It is shown with the help of numerical experiments that a small object forms interference fringes with a good contrast, which allows one to use optical quasi-resonant emission for the development of a nondestructive method of investigation of small objects.

Kinematic model of propagating arc-like segments with feedback

Using a kinematic approach, we propose a model of arc-like wave segments in which the free ends are stabilized by using a feedback algorithm. The model can demonstrate the experimental results and numerical computations of a reaction-diffusion system. This model also reveals some aspects of spiral wave dynamics with the free ends including not only the stabilization of wave segments using feedback, but also a critical behavior with respect to the initial wave size in media with fixed excitability.     

Note on wavefront dislocation in surface water waves

At singular points of a wave field, where the amplitude vanishes, the phase may become singular and wavefront dislocation may occur. In this Letter we investigate for wave fields in one spatial dimension the appearance of these essentially linear phenomena. We introduce the Chu-Mei quotient as it is known to appear in the ‘nonlinear dispersion relation’ for wave groups as a consequence of the nonlinear transformation of the complex amplitude to real phase-amplitude variables. We show that unboundedness of this quotient at a singular point, related to unboundedness of the local wavenumber and frequency, is a generic property and that it is necessary for the occurrence of phase singularity and wavefront dislocation, while these phenomena are generic too. We also show that the ‘soliton on finite background’, an explicit solution of the NLS equation and a model for modulational instability leading to extreme waves, possesses wavefront dislocations and unboundedness of the Chu-Mei quotient.     

Time evolution of atomic inversion in a standing wave light field

The interaction between an atomic beam of two-level atoms and a standing wave light field has been studied by the exact solution of a time-dependent quantum system developed recently. When the initial atomic state is choosen to be ground, we find that with the limit of zero detuning the atoms will oscillate between the upper and the lower levels with a decaying amplitude. The most interesting result obtained in this paper is when the initial atomic state is a particular superposition of the two levels, now the system does not oscillate at any time.     

Ultra‐subwavelength focusing of light by a monolayer of metallic nanoshells with an adsorbed defect

We study theoretically the focusing properties of a two‐dimensional periodic array of silver‐coated silica nanospheres. The array contains an adsorbed nanosphere of the same type which serves as point source when the array is illuminated by a plane wave. By using a rigorous multiple‐scattering theory we show that under plane wave illumination, the array focuses the incident light in a tight area with size of about 1/70 of the wavelength. At the same time, the near‐field is amplified by three orders of magnitude. The frequency corresponding to the focusing and amplification effects depends on the thickness of the silver nanoshell offering a tunable response of the structure. The latter can find application in optical trapping, lithography and imaging below the diffraction limit. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Near-field effect in two-atom system

The self-consistent problem is solved for the interaction of two dipole atoms situated at arbitrary distance from one another with the field of quasiresonant light wave. Atoms are considered to be linear Lorenz oscillators. Polarizing fields inside the system include both Coulomb and retarding parts. The solutions obtained are investigated for the case when atoms have the same polarizabilities and interatomic distance is much less than external light wavelength. Formulas for electric fields inside and outside of small object are obtained. It is shown that longitudinal and transverse optical oscillations are possible to exist inside small two-atom object. Dispersion laws of these oscillations depend upon interatomic distance and upon angle between axis of the system and the direction of propagation of external wave. The field outside the small object in wave zone is linearly polarized with the choice of linear polarization of external field. However, the directions of polarization of these waves are different and depend essentially upon frequency. The amplitude of field outside small object in wave zone is shown to depend essentially on the frequency of external field and interatomic distance. The results obtained are treated as near-field effect in the optics of small objects making it possible to investigate the structure of small objects with optical radiation.

Far field detection of terahertz near field enhancement of sub-wavelength slits using Kirchhoff integral formalism

We demonstrate that the near field enhancement of sub-wavelength slits can be experimentally determined in the far field by using a reference aperture. Our simple model derived from the Kirchhoff integral formalism shows that enhancement of the near field at a slit exit with respect to the incident wave can be read in the transmitted amplitude through the slit attached on a reference aperture, normalized by the transmitted amplitude through the reference aperture. Furthermore, the near field enhancement obtained in such a way is essentially independent of the reference aperture size. By performing terahertz time domain spectroscopy we experimentally confirm the inverse frequency dependence of the near field enhancement of extremely narrow slits and measure the maximum field enhancement reaching 200 at 0.1 THz for a 500-nm-width slit.     

Resonant modification of the Rabi oscillations of a two-level system

The evolution of a two-level system in a single-mode quantum field is considered beyond the rotating wave approximation. It is shown for the first time that the Rabi oscillations of the system are modified in the resonant way at some values of the field amplitude.     

Physical Realization of Quantum C-Not Gate

We investigate a Heisenberg spin cluster with two particles controlled by a time-dependent magnetic field. The system is controlled by tuning the amplitude, frequency, and interaction time of the three-step time-dependent magnetic field. Then we solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation of the two-particle system, and obtain the time evolution operator. By the three-timestep interaction, the wavefunction evolves from the initial state to the final state, and the total evolution operator can be expressed as a product of the three evolution operators. By adjusting the physical parameters, the key two-qubit logic gate, the C-Not gate, can be realized physically.     

Dimensional Resonances in Biatomic Nanostructures and the Characteristics of Their Holograms

A self-consistent problem of determining the field at the location of atoms in a nanostructural object and also at different observation points beyond a group of atoms (a small object) in the wave and near zones is solved on the basis of a system of compatible equations for the light-wave electric field strength and optical equations for linear dipole oscillators. We proved the existence of two dimensional resonances in the nanostructural object that consists of two identical atoms, with each having a single isolated resonance. We show that the properties of dimensional resonances depend strongly on small displacements of atoms with respect to one another. Formulas are obtained for effective polarizabilities of atoms in the small object. Optical plane holograms of the small object were obtained by interference of the coherent field of the dipoles of the small object and of the reference coherent wave in a certain plane of observation points far from the small object in the wave zone at frequencies corresponding to dimensional resonances.

Enhancing the penetration stability of plasma jet in liquid by improving the chamber structure

Two kinds of chamber structures were designed to improve the penetration stability of plasma jet in the working fluid. They are the cone-truncated chamber with an inclined wall structure and the stepped-wall chamber with an abrupt expanding structure. Based on the experiment, the penetration characteristics of plasma jet in liquid were investigated by the numerical calculation, especially the multiphase flow field structure and the jet penetration stability. In the cone-truncated chamber, the arc-like pressure wave does not evolve into the plane wave like the wave evolution rule in the traditional cylindrical chamber, and an alternating structure of arc-like wave and the plane wave is formed in the stepped-wall chamber. The stability control of stepped wall is more significant than that of inclined wall because the low-pressure vortex formed at the corner of step enhances the radial induction effect. Besides, the stepped-wall structure can restrain the moving randomness of the big vortex's core. The axial expansion speed of plasma jet in the ambient fluid is decreased exponentially and the speed estimation formula was obtained in this work.     

On stochastic stabilization of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability by three-wave resonant interaction

An analytical investigation of the effect of three-wave resonant interactions with the linearly unstable wave is proposed. We consider the waves in the Kelvin-Helmholtz model, consisting of two fluid layers with different densities and velocities. We suppose that the velocity shear is weakly supercritical, the instability is of the algebraic type, i.e., the amplitude of the unstable wave grows linearly, and the instability occurs within the framework of a single mode. The amplitudes of two other waves taking part in the nonlinear interaction are assumed to be stable. The initial amplitudes of these waves are supposed to be small in comparison with the initial amplitude of the unstable wave. We present an analysis of the system of amplitude equations derived for this case using JWKB-method. As a result, we obtain equations that couple solutions pre- and post-passing the singular point, i.e., the point where the amplitude of the unstable wave has a local minimum. These equations give us the transformation rule of a parameter that characterizes the phase shift between fast and slow waves and defines the behavior of the system. This parameter is constant between two singular points and varies by chance at a singular point. As long as it stays positive, the amplitude of the wave remains limited and performs stochastic oscillations. If this parameter passes over zero, then we leave the region of stabilization and turn out in the region, where the amplitude grows infinitely. Accordingly, the transition to the region of instability happens stochastically. However, if the time interval, when the amplitude remains bounded, is large enough, the proposed scenario can be treated as a partial stabilization of instability.
