Calculation of linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients of a spherical quantum dot with parabolic potential

In the effective mass approximation, we calculated the binding energy and wave function for the 1s-, 1p-, 1d- and 1f-states of a spherical quantum dot (QD) with parabolic potential by using a combination of quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) and Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HFR) method. In addition, we also investigated the linear and the third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients as a function of the incident photon energy for the 1s-1p, 1p-1d and 1d-1f transitions. Our results are shown that the existence of impurity has great influence on optical absorption coefficients. Moreover, the optical absorption coefficients are strongly affected by the incident optical intensity, relaxation time, parabolic potential and dot radius.     

Linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and binding energy of a spherical quantum dot

The binding energy and wavefunctions of the 1s, 1p, 1d and 1f energy states of a spherical quantum dot (QD) with parabolic potential were calculated by using a method which is a combination of the quantum genetic algorithm (QGA) and the Hartree–Fock–Roothaan (HFR) approach. In addition, the linear and the third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients based on optical transitions in QDs with and without impurity were calculated. The results show that the parabolic potential has a great effect not only on the binding energies and but also on the optical absorption coefficients. Moreover, the calculated results also reveal that the linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients are strongly affected by the existence of impurity and the incident optical intensity.     

Spectral properties of quantum dots influenced by a confining potential model

We obtain the exact energy spectra and corresponding wave functions of the spherical quantum dots for any (n,l) state in the presence of a combination of pseudo-harmonic, Coulomb and linear confining potential terms within the exact analytical iteration method (EAIM). The interaction potential model under consideration is labeled as the Cornell modified-plus-harmonic (CMpH) type which is a correction form to the harmonic, Coulomb and linear confining potential terms.     

A dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory and its applications in optics

We develop a dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory where the reflection and transmission amplitudes for a general, possibly complex and energy-dependent, scattering potential are given as solutions of a set of dynamical equations. By decoupling and partially integrating these equations, we reduce the scattering problem to a second order linear differential equation with universal initial conditions that is equivalent to an initial-value time-independent Schrödinger equation. We give explicit formulas for the reflection and transmission amplitudes in terms of the solution of either of these equations and employ them to outline an inverse-scattering method for constructing finite-range potentials with desirable scattering properties at any prescribed wavelength. In particular, we construct optical potentials displaying threshold lasing, antilasing, and unidirectional invisibility.     

Spectral anomalies of diffracted chirped Gaussian pulses and their potential applications

Starting from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral and without invoking the paraxial approximation, analytical expressions for the field distribution, far-field power spectrum and temporal far-field distribution of chirped Gaussian pulses diffracted at a circular aperture are derived, which enables us to study the spectral anomalous behavior of diffracted chirped Gaussian pulses in the far field. The potential applications of spectral anomalies of ultrashort pulses are discussed. It is found that at the critical angle the spectral switch appears. The frequency difference between the two equal heights of spectral switches increases and the corresponding critical diffraction angle slightly increases as the chirp parameter increases and pulse duration decreases. In a certain region of the truncation parameter, the critical angle decreases with increasing truncation parameter. By suitably varying the pulse duration, chirp parameter and truncation parameter, information encoding and transmission are achievable in the use of chirped Gaussian pulses.     

Tuning the optical properties of Fe-Au core-shell nanoparticles with spherical and spheroidal nanostructures

Present research interest is to highlight on the manufacturing of core-shell nanoparticles because of core activity with unique properties and surface modification by a shell in the diverse fields (e.g. optoelectronic, catalysis and magneto-optics). In addition, the combined optical properties of magnetic-plasmonic core-shell NPs make them ideal candidates for many applications in biomedical fields. The influence of Fe-core and Au-shell for the formation of the core-shell viz. spherical and spheroidal nanostructures is studied using the discrete dipole approximation method. DDA is an approximation method and its accuracy is compared to Mie theory results for spherical core-shell NPs as Mie theory gives the exact solution to spherical targeted NPs. DDA calculations are further extended to spheroidal core-shell nanostructures. It is observed that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak position in considered core-shell nanostructures is enhanced by changing the cores and shell thickness in the core-shell spherical nanostructures and aspect ratio as well as shell thickness in spheroidal core-shell nanostructures. The absorption spectra are found between 363–788 nm wavelength ranges and can be tuned into UV-visible-near-infrared region of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum in accordance with desired applications. It has been found that the Fe@hollow@Au and prolate core-shell nanostructures show enhancement to LSPR peaks, bandwidth and their corresponding intensities in comparison to other considered spherical and spheroidal core-shell nanostructures. Tunability in core size, shell thickness, aspect ratio, and configuration will open new potential uses of suitable magnetic-plasmonic core-shell nanostructures in cancer therapy, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and many more of biomedical fields.     

Spectral and Generation Properties of a Nonsubstituted Analog of Rhodamine 101 in a Polyurethane Matrix

The spectral-luminescence and generation properties of a nonsubstituted analog of rhodamine 101 have been investigated and compared to those of rhodamines 101 and 6G in a polyurethane matrix. It has been shown that the former possesses a higher photostability, a longer lifetime at the local point, and a higher efficiency of conversion of the dye-laser energy than the latter. This has been attributed to the totally rigid structure of the analog of rhodamine 101 and the absence of photochemical-reaction-prone functional groups in it.

Theoretical study of combined radiative conductive and convective heat transfer in semi-transparent porous medium in a spherical enclosure

A new method for the solution of the radiative transfer equation in spherical media based on a modified discrete ordinates method is extended to study radiative, conductive and convective heat transfer in a semi-transparent scattering porous medium. The set of differential equations is solved using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Various results are obtained for the case of combined radiative and conductive heat transfer, as well as for the interaction of those modes with convection. The effects of some radiative properties of the medium on the heat transfer rate are examined.

In this paper the calculation of resonance frequencies and threshold gains of distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with strong modulations is discussed. The theory is based on the Floquet solutions of a complex Hill differential equation. The dispersion relation of the above solutions is shown to be of importance for the behaviour of the resonances of the DFB laser.
