On some properties of the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities of the medium

Specific features of the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities of the medium are analyzed. Inhomogeneous waves may exhibit, after passing through such an etalon, a giant amplitude enhancement. They remain inhomogeneous and do not transfer the field energy. Due to absorption and other losses, there may arise, in the inhomogeneous wave, running components and interference effects. The etalon cannot improve the diffraction-limited resolving power of the optical devices detecting traveling waves. The possibilities of application of the etalon in the near-field optics are noted. The giant enhancement of the inhomogeneous wave amplitude occurs due to resonance of the incident wave with eigen (surface) waves of the input and output planes of the etalon. It is shown that, with respect to inhomogeneous waves, the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities is a narrow-band filter with the peak transmission for the spatial frequency of the Fourier expansion of the boundary values on the order of the inverse wavelength. Under the resonance conditions, the running components, when passing through the etalon, experience aberrational distortions. Polarization properties of the resonance amplification are clarified.     

Propagation dynamics of relativistic electromagnetic solitary wave as well as modulational instability in plasmas

By one-dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) simulations, the propagation and stability of relativistic electromagnetic(EM) solitary waves as well as modulational instability of plane EM waves are studied in uniform cold electron-ion plasmas.The investigation not only confirms the solitary wave motion characteristics and modulational instability theory, but more importantly, gives the following findings. For a simulation with the plasma density 10²³ m^-3 and the dimensionless vector potential amplitude 0.18, it is found that the EM solitary wave can stably propagate when the carrier wave frequency is smaller than 3.83 times of the plasma frequency. While for the carrier wave frequency larger than that, it can excite a very weak Langmuir oscillation, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the transverse electron momentum and may in turn modulate the EM solitary wave and cause the modulational instability, so that the solitary wave begins to deform after a long enough distance propagation. The stable propagation distance before an obvious observation of instability increases(decreases) with the increase of the carrier wave frequency(vector potential amplitude). The study on the plane EM wave shows that a modulational instability may occur and its wavenumber is approximately equal to the modulational wavenumber by Langmuir oscillation and is independent of the carrier wave frequency and the vector potential amplitude.This reveals the role of the Langmuir oscillation excitation in the inducement of modulational instability and also proves the modulational instability of EM solitary wave.     

Study of fully developed wind wave spectrum by application of quantum statistics

The spectrum of fully developed wind waves is studied by application of the method of quantum statistics. A particle picture of water waves is introduced as an analogy of wave–particle duality. “Water wave particles” are conceived which are similar to phonons for elastic waves in solids. However, due to the property of wave breaking, the number of “water wave particles” in a quantum state is restricted. The spectrum of fully developed wind waves is studied on the basis of the maximum entropy principle. The similarity law of fully developed wind wave spectrum is proved. In the high frequency range, the spectral form is in agreement with the result of observations. In the particle picture, a saturated spectrum is introduced which is in conceptual consistency with the saturated spectrum introduced by Phillips in the wave picture, and the form of which is the same as Phillips’. It is further shown that in the high frequency range the spectrum is only half saturated for fully developed wind waves. The frequency downshifting phenomenon which cannot be explained by wave theory is explained in the particle picture.

Standing Waves in the Lorentz-Covariant World

When Einstein formulated his special relativity, he developed his dynamics for point particles. Of course, many valiant efforts have been made to extend his relativity to rigid bodies, but this subject is forgotten in history. This is largely because of the emergence of quantum mechanics with wave-particle duality. Instead of Lorentz-boosting rigid bodies, we now boost waves and have to deal with Lorentz transformations of waves. We now have some nderstanding of plane waves or running waves in the covariant picture, but we do not yet have a clear picture of standing waves. In this report, we show that there is one set of standing waves which can be Lorentz-transformed while being consistent with all physical principle of quantum mechanics and relativity. It is possible to construct a representation of the Poincaré group using harmonic oscillator wave functions satisfying space-time boundary conditions. This set of wave functions is capable of explaining the quantum bound state for both slow and fast hadrons. In particular it can explain the quark model for hadrons at rest, and Feynman’s parton model hadrons moving with a speed close to that of light.

<正>Interfacial internal waves in a three-layer density-stratified fluid are investigated using a singular perturbation method,and third-order asymptotic solutions of the velocity potentials and third-order Stokes wave solutions of the associated elevations of the interfacial waves are presented based on the small amplitude wave theory.As expected,the third-order solutions describe the third-order nonlinear modification and the third-order nonlinear interactions between the interfacial waves.The wave velocity depends on not only the wave number and the depth of each layer but also on the wave amplitude.     

Two-stream instabilities in degenerate quantum plasmas

The quantum effects on the plasma two-stream instability are studied by the dielectric function approach. The analysis suggests that the instability condition in a degenerate dense plasma deviates from the classical theory when the electron drift velocity is comparable to the Fermi velocity. Specifically, for a high wave vector comparable to the Fermi wave vector, a degenerate quantum plasma has larger regime of instability than predicted by the classical theory. A regime is identified, where there are unstable plasma waves with frequency 1.5 times of a normal Langmuir wave.     

Extended Schwinger-Boson theory of the two-dimensional spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnets

The properties of the possible solitary electromagnetic waves, propagating in two-dimensional SIS Josephson junction without dissipative losses are investigated on the basis of the local theory of the junction. A classification of the waves in the junction with respect to the Swihart velocity is made. It is shown that allowed and forbidden areas for the wave numbers, wave frequency and wave amplitude exist. The cut-off frequency for the solitary waves which velocity is greater than the Swihart velocity can be smaller than the Josephson plasma frequency and moreover these waves can propagate only in a junction that is large in the direction perpendicular to the propagation direction. On the contrary the solitary waves which velocity is smaller than the Swihart velocity request junction size in the above direction to be smaller than a critical one. The investigated two-dimensional solitary waves can be connected with one or two quanta of the magnetic flux.

A new type of quantum interferometer for gravitational wave detection

We present an orientational quantum interferometer sensitive to gravitational waves that is based on orienting quantum objects like molecules, atoms, or nuclei in space. The detection principle is based on inducing non-sphericity to the corresponding wave functions by light-pulses. In the field of a gravitational wave these objects then possess spectra that depend on their orientation in space. In our measurement scheme we investigate the adiabatic influence of a monochromatic gravitational wave over a quarter gravitational wave period and compare the corresponding frequencies at instances with maximal and vanishing gravitational wave elongation. We therefore explore the effect over a quarter gravitational wave period (or wavelength) and the resulting frequency shift scales with the binding energy of the system times the amplitude of the gravitational wave. In particular, a gravitational wave with amplitude h = 10⁻²³ will induce a frequency shift of the order of 110 μHz for an atom interferometer based on a 91-fold charged uranium ion.     

Quantum ion acoustic solitary waves in electron-ion plasmas: A Sagdeev potential approach

Linear and nonlinear ion acoustic waves are studied in unmagnetized electron-ion quantum plasmas. Sagdeev potential approach is employed to describe the nonlinear quantum ion acoustic waves. It is found that density dips structures are formed in the subsonic region in a electron-ion quantum plasma case. The amplitude of the nonlinear structures remains constant and the width is broadened with the increase in the quantization of the system. However, the nonlinear wave amplitude is reduced with the increase in the wave Mach number. The numerical results are also presented.     

Solitary wave propagation in quantum electron-positron plasmas

Existence of large amplitude stationary solitary wave structures in an unmagnetized electron-positron (e-p) plasma is studied using a quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model that includes the quantum force (tunnelling) associated with the Bohm potential and the Fermi-dirac pressure law. It is found that in a quasi-neutral pair (e-p) plasma, where the dispersion is only due to the the quantum tunnelling effects, the large amplitude stationary solitary structure exists only when the normalized Mach speed,M <√2. Such solitary structures do not exist in absence of the Bohm potential term in an unmagnetized quasineutral pair (e-p) plasma. The system is shown to support only rarefactive stationary solitary waves. For such waves the amplitude, being independent of the quantum parameter H (the ratio of the electron plasmon to electron Fermi energy), decreases with the Mach number M, whereas the width increases with both M and H. The present theory is applicable to analyze the formation of localized coherent solitary structures at quantum scales in dense astrophysical objects as well as in intense laser fields.

Parametric instabilities in single-walled carbon nanotubes

Parametric instabilities induced by the coupling excitation between the high frequency quantum Langmuir waves and the low frequency quantum ion-acoustic waves in single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied with a quantum Zakharov model. By linearizing the quantum hydrodynamic equations, we get the dispersion relations for the high frequency quantum Langmuir wave and the low frequency quantum ion-acoustic wave. Using two-time scale method, we obtain the quantum Zaharov model in the cylindrical coordinates. Decay instability and four-wave instability are discussed in detail. It is shown that the carbon nanotube＇s radius, the equilibrium discrete azimuthal quantum number, the perturbed discrete azimuthal quantum number, and the quantum parameter all play a crucial role in the instabilities.     

Characteristics of Biot waves produced by a vibration exciter in a fluid-saturated medium

Results of a theoretical calculation of the directional characteristics of elastic waves excited by an oscillating point force in a fluid-saturated porous medium are presented. Based on Boit’s theory and the theory of elementary acoustic sources, the wave amplitude and radiation power are calculated for two kinds of longitudinal waves and the transverse wave. An analysis of the spatial angular characteristics of elastic waves is performed for two types of rock, namely, water-and gas-saturated sandstones. The angular distributions of vibrations in the solid and liquid (gaseous) phases of the medium and the frequency dependences of the radiation power associated with each of the three types of acoustic waves are presented in graphical form.     

Electron exchange-correlation effects on dispersion properties of electrostatic waves in degenerate quantum plasmas

Based on the quantum Magnetohydrodynamic (QMHD) model, the obliquely propagation of electrostatic waves in degenerate magnetized quantum plasmas with electron exchange-correlation effects are theoretically investigated. The modified linear dispersion relations of electrostatic waves are obtained and discussed in some specific cases. The analytical results clearly show that the dispersion properties of the high frequency electron waves (including the Langmuir wave and upper-hybrid wave) and the low frequency ion acoustic wave are modified by the quantum effects together with the electron exchange-correlation effects. The numerical results depict that the Langmuir wave and upper-hybrid wave can be unstable in the presence of the electron exchange-correlation effects, and it is also evidently indicated that the electron exchange-correlation effects can reduce the phase velocity of the waves, especially in the high wave number region. The corresponding results should be of relevance for identifying electrostatic fluctuations which transport in an inhomogeneous and magnetized quantum plasmas.
