Soliton interactions and their dynamics in a higher-order nonlinear self-dual network equation

Under investigation in this paper is a higher-order nonlinear self-dual network equation, which may simulate the wave propagation in a ladder type electric circuit. By means of the N-fold Darboux transformation and symbolic computation, the N-soliton solutions in determinant form are obtained. Based on the asymptotic and graphic analysis, the elastic interaction phenomena between/among two-, three- and four-soliton solutions are discussed, and some important physical quantities are accurately analyzed. Numerical simulations are used to explore the dynamical stability of one- and two-soliton solutions. Results might be helpful for understanding the propagation and interaction properties of electrical signals in a ladder type nonlinear self-dual network.

A study of capacitance-voltage characteristics of lead zirconate titanate ferroelectric thin films and their usage to investigate polarization and coercive field

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films with a thickness of 130 nm were measured between 300 and 533 K. The transition between ferroelectric and paraelectric phases was revealed to be of second order in our case, with a Curie temperature at around 450 K. A linear relationship was found between the measured capacitance and the inverse square root of the applied voltage. It was shown that such a relationship could be fitted well by a universal expression of C/A = k(V+V(0))(-1/2) and that this expression could be derived by expanding the Landau-Devonshire free energy at an effective equilibrium position of the Ti/Zr ion in a PZT unit cell. By using the derived equations in this work, the free energy parameters for an individual material can be obtained solely from the corresponding C-V data, and the temperature dependences of both remnant polarization and coercive voltage are shown to be in quantitative agreement with the experimental data.

Electro- and magneto-optical switching of defect modes in one- dimensional photonic crystals

Electro- and magneto-optical switching based on the interference of polarized defect modes has been demonstrated. The transmission spectra of the PC/LC cell have been calculated as a function of the voltage applied to the LC layer and the magnetic field strength. The results of the calculations agree well with the experimental data.

Theoretical analysis of the all-fiberized, dispersion-managed regenerator for simultaneous processing of WDM channels

The concept of the all-fiberized multi-wavelength regenerator is analyzed, and the design methodology for operation at 40 Gb/s is presented. The specific methodology has been applied in the past for the experimental proof-of-principle of the technique, but it has never been reported in detail. The regenerator is based on a strong dispersion map that is implemented using alternating dispersion compensating fibers (DCF) and single-mode fibers (SMF), and minimizes the nonlinear interaction between the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) channels. The optimized regenerator design with + 0.86 ps/nm/km average dispersion of the nonlinear fiber section is further investigated. The specific design is capable of simultaneously processing five WDM channels with 800 GHz channel spacing and providing Q-factor improvement higher than 1 dB for each channel. The cascadeability of the regenerator is also indicated using a 6-node metropolitan network simulation model.     

Experimental measurement of the nonlinearities of electrodynamic microphones

This paper presents an experimental way of characterizing the nonlinearities of electrodynamic microphones used as acoustical sources. This functioning occurs for reciprocal calibration techniques. For this purpose, its electrical impedance is measured with a Wayne Kerr wedge which has an excellent precision. Moreover, it can be noted that the Thiele and Small model is used to characterize its electrical impedance. Furthermore, an experimental method based on Simplex algorithm allows us to construct polynomial laws which describe the dependence of the Thiele and Small parameters with the input voltage. The nonlinear variations obtained allow us to determine the nonlinear differential equation of the electrodynamic microphone. Then, this equation is solved numerically in order to confirm the accuracy of the polynomial laws obtained by the Simplex algorithm. The distortions are measured with a laser Doppler velocimeter and compared with the ones obtained by the numerical solving of the nonlinear differential equation. The experimental displacement spectrum is consistent with the theoretical one.     

Investigation of characteristics of electrically-controlled liquid-crystal retarders

We present results of studies of main characteristics of electrically-controlled retarders fabricated on the basis of planar- and twist-oriented liquid crystals (LC). The investigated characteristics are time of switching and the calibration curve of controllable phase incursion. Computer simulation and numerical calculations of the processes of LC director reorientation in an external electric field have been performed. Based on LabView software a special program is constructed for computer control of the shape, frequency, and amplitude of the external voltage applied to LC cell. An experiment has been implemented on realization, with use of this program, of the prescribed phase retardation of an optical beam. Calculated results agree with experimental data.     

Optimization of Nonlinear Transmission Lines for Harmonic Generation: The Role of the Capacitance-Voltage Characteristic and the Area Effect

In this paper, nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) periodically loaded with symmetric voltage dependent capacitances are investigated by means of computer simulation. Specifically, we have studied the role that the C-V characteristic plays on the performance of NLTLs as frequency multipliers. The main conclusion of the work is that the area under the C(V) curve is a key parameter for the optimization of conversion efficiency. This result is interpreted on the basis of soliton like propagation in NLTLs.     

Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark ladder in the coupled LC circuits

We present a new scheme for realizing Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark ladder based on a lattice of coupled LC circuits. By converting the second order dynamical ODEs of the system into a first order Schrödinger-like equation, we propose an equivalent tight binding Hamiltonian to describe the circuit. We show that a synthesized electric field is produced by introducing a frequency mismatch into the resonant frequency of the adjacent LC resonators. The Wannier-Stark modes are the normal modes of the circuit and the Bloch oscillations can be observed in a coupled LC lattice. By addition of coupling capacitors between nodes of the circuit, we study the Bloch oscillation in the presence of long-range couplings. We also show that the circuit converts to a transmission line simulating synthetic electric fields in the continuum limit. The coupled LC circuit is, in some sense, amongst the simplest physical systems exhibiting Bloch oscillation and Wannier-Stark Ladder.     

Directly extracting both threshold voltage and series resistance from the conductance-voltage curve of an AlGaN/GaN Schottky diode

An Ni/Au Schottky contact on an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure has been prepared. By using the peak-conductance model, the threshold voltage and the series resistance of the AlGaN/GaN diode are simultaneously extracted from the conductance-voltage (G-V) curve and found to be in good agreement with the ones obtained by using the capacitance-voltage (C-V) curve integration and the plot of dV/d(ln I) versus current I. Thus, a method of directly and simultaneously extracting both the threshold voltage and the series resistance from the conductance-voltage curve for the AlGaN/GaN Schottky diode is developed.

Gilbert damping in the layered antiferromagnet CrCl3

We theoretically and experimentally studied the Gilbert damping evolution of both acoustic and optical magnetic resonance modes in the layered flake Cr Cl;with an external magnetic field H applied in plane.Based on a Lagrangian equation and a Rayleigh dissipation function,we predicted that the resonance linewidth△H as a function of microwave frequencyωis nonlinear for both acoustic and optical modes in the Cr Cl;flake,which is significantly different from the linear relationship of△H-ωin ferromagnets.Measuring the microwave transmission through the Cr Cl;flake,we obtained theω–H dispersion and damping evolution△H–ωfor both acoustic and optical modes.Combining both our theoretical prediction and experimental observations,we concluded that the nonlinear damping evolution△H–ωis a consequence of the interlayer interaction during the antiferromagnetic resonance,and the interlayer Gilbert dissipation plays an important role in the nonlinear damping evolution because of the asymmetry of the non-collinear magnetizaiton between layers.

Electron Spectrum of Nonlinear Cold Emission from a Metal under the Action of a Laser Shot

The nonlinear emission of electrons from a metal under the action of a femtosecond moderate-intensity laser pulse (laser shot) has been studied. A theoretical model of the process has been constructed based on the 1D nonstationary Schrödinger equation in the vacuum half-space with given boundary conditions for the electron wavefunction. This equation has been solved using the Laplace transformation. It has been assumed that the states of free electrons in a metal, which are described by the Sommerfeld theory of metals, are insignificantly influenced by the laser field. The energy spectrum of emitted electrons has been obtained, and its dependence on the parameters of the lased shot has been found. The calculated spectrum of nonlinear electron emission from a tungsten nanotip under the action of a 6.5-fs-long laser shot generating a field of 9.26 V/nm agrees with the experimental data.     

Coupled effects of nano-size,stretching, and slip boundary conditions on nonlinear vibrations of nano-tube conveying fluid by the homotopy analysis method

In this paper, natural frequency and nonlinear response of carbon nano-tube (CNT) conveying fluid based on the coupling of nonlocal theory and von Karman's stretching have been obtained. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been used for solving nonlinear differential equation of system and convergence region of approach presented. Effects of mid-plane stretching, nonlocal parameter and their coupling in the model have been investigated. It has been concluded that stretching effect is significant only for higher-amplitude initial excitations and lower beam aspect ratios. Moreover, by including the slip boundary condition, the effect of nano-size flow has been revealed in the nonlinear vibration model. We have concluded that small-size effects of nano-tube and nano-flow have impressed critical velocity of fluid significantly specially for gas fluid. Analytical results obtained from HAM solution show satisfactory agreement with numerical solutions such as Runge–Kutta. Having an analytical approach, we have been able to investigate the unbounded growth of amplitude of vibrations for flow velocities near the critical value. Moreover, by employing the second-order approximation of Galerkin's method, the estimated natural frequency of the first mode is verified. The obtained results would indicate that the effects of higher mode on the first natural frequency are negligible for the doubly-clamped CNT.     

Design consideration of monolithic millimeter-wave barrier varactor diode frequency multiplier arrays

A new device structure for highly efficient frequency tripling in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength regions is presented. The Barrier-Intrinsic-N⁺ (BIN) diode structure [1,2] is modified for highly efficient millimeter- and submillimeter-wave frequency tripling device to be employed into the monolithic back-to-back diode frequency tripler array. The modified BIN diode structures have series resistances of a few ohms and cut-off frequencies in the terahertz range. The modified BIN diode structures have weaker C-V nonlinearities than the BIN diode structure does, however, the modified BIN structures have much higher intrinsic cut-off frequencies than does the BIN counterpart. The C-V nonlinearity, capacitance ratio, breakdown voltage, series resistance and cut-off frequency of this new device structure will be discussed in this paper. In addition, the calculated high-frequency performance of this device using a large-signal nonlinear circuit model will be presented in this paper. The operation and performance of the monolithic diode-grid frequency tripler arrays employing large numbers of the modified BIN diodes will also be discussed in this paper.     

A dynamic macromodel for distributed parameter magnetic microactuators

This paper presents a reduced-order model to describe the mechanical behaviour of microbeam-based magnetic devices. The integration for magnetic force is calculated by dividing the microbeam into several segments, and the nonlinear equation set has been developed based on the magnetic circuit principle. In comparison with previous models, the present macromodel accounts for both the micro-magnetic-core reluctance and the coupling between the beam deflection and magnetic force. This macromodel is validated by comparing with the experimental results available in some papers and finite-element solutions.
