Second- and third-harmonic generations for a nondilute suspension of coated particles with radial dielectric anisotropy

We derive expressions for the effective nonlinear susceptibility tensors for both the second harmonic generation (SHG) and induced third harmonic generation (THG) of nonlinear composite materials, in which nondilute coated particles with radial dielectric anisotropy are randomly embedded in the linear host. Two types of coated particles are considered. The first is that the core possesses a second order nonlinear susceptibility and the shell is linear and radially anisotropic, while the second is that the core is linear with radial anisotropy and the shell has a second order nonlinear susceptibility. We observe greatly enhanced SHG and THG susceptibilities at several surface plasmon resonant frequencies. For the second model, due to the coating material being metallic, there exists two fundamental resonant frequencies ω_c1 and ω_c2, whose difference ω_c2-ω_c1 is strongly dependent on the interfacial parameter and the radial dielectric anisotropy. Furthermore, in both systems, the adjustment of the dielectric anisotropy results in larger enhancement of both SHG and induced THG susceptibilities at surface plasmon resonant frequencies than the corresponding isotropic systems. Therefore, both the core-shell structure and the dielectric anisotropy play important roles in determining the nonlinear enhancement and the surface resonant frequencies.

Parametrical Instability of Surface Type X-modes Immersed into a Nonmonochromatic Pumping Electric Field

Parametrical excitation of surface type X-modes (STXM) at the second harmonic of electron cyclotron frequency by nonmonochromatic external alternating electric field is under consideration. STXM are the eigenmodes of a planar magnetoactive plasma waveguide structure consisting of a metal wall with dielectric coating and uniform plasma filling. An external steady magnetic field is applied along the plasma interface, so it is perpendicular to the group velocity of the considered extraordinarily polarized waves. Influence of the plasma waveguide parameters on the parametrical instability of the STXM is studied. External alternating electric field is assumed to consist of two fields with different amplitudes and frequencies. A theoretical investigation is carried out using kinetic equation for plasma particles under the conditions of weak plasma spatial dispersion and small amplitudes of external electric fields. The obtained results can be useful for research in branch of edge plasma physics.     

On the dependence of circular Bragg phenomenon of noble metals helicoidally periodic sculptured thin films on visible and IR wavelengths

The concept of local homogenization in the visible and infra-red frequencies is used by estimating the permittivity dyadics of noble metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) in the form of thin film helicoidal bianisotroptic media (TFHBM). Despite the fact that the absorption transitions of dielectric to metal (percolation threshold) in metallic TFHBMs occur at long wavelengths at lower volumetric fraction of metallic particles, at these wavelengths the transition from dielectric to metal in composite relative permittivity scalar occurs at higher volumetric fraction of metallic particles. The latter is responsible for the increase of circular Bragg phenomenon.     

Controlled hysteresis in optical systems surrounded by two feedback loops

The absorptive bistability in a nonlinear optical system surrounded by two feedback loops is studied. The role of the nonlinear element is played by a cell with Λ-type atom vapors placed in a unidirectional ring cavity. The feedback includes two electromagnetic fields interacting with two atomic transitions. A two-dimensional domain of stability was found in the coordinates of field intensities at the input. The dependence of its shape on the values of different parameters of the optical system is studied. The input-output curves corresponding to different trajectories in the domain of stability are obtained.     

Second harmonic generation in composites of ellipsoidal particles with core–shell structure

We study the enhancement of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient in a random composite consisting of ellipsoidal particles with a core–shell structure in a linear dielectric host. The material making up the ellipsoidal core is assumed to be dielectric, but with a nonlinear susceptibility for SHG. The coating material is assumed to be metallic with a linear susceptibility. The effective SHG coefficient is derived and its expression is related to various local field factors. The numerical calculations of the effective SHG response per unit volume of nonlinear material can be greatly enhanced at certain frequencies. For coated ellipsoidal particles, the core–shell structure and the particle shape allow for tuning of the resonance through the choice of material parameters and/or the ratio of the core to shell volume fraction and the depolarization factor of the particles.     

Induced soap-film flow by non-uniform alternating electric field

Fluid flows generated on soap films by non-uniform alternating electric fields are studied. Two parallel metal rods subjected to an AC voltage are placed perpendicular to the soap film, which is anchored in a dielectric frame. The fluid flow is generated by electrohydrodynamic induction. At very low signal frequencies there is induced surface charge, but there is no tangential electric field at the surface, so there is no force and no flow. Fluid flow is observed increasing the frequency, when there are both surface charge and tangential electric field. The flow velocity increases with decreasing thickness of the soap film.     

Theoretical studies on the near field properties of non-concentric core-shell nanoparticle dimers

The concentric core-shell nanoparticle dimers have “hot spots” with enhanced electric fields in their junctions, which can be used in the surface enhanced Raman spectra analysis. Here the non-concentric core-shell nanoparticle dimers are proposed by introducing a shift between the dielectric core and the metal shell. By using the three dimensional finite difference time domain method, the plasmon resonances and the near field properties of the core-shell nanoparticle dimers affected by the non-concentric shift, dimer separation, excitation wavelength and polarization are analyzed in detail. The results show that the local near fields of the non-concentric core-shell nanoparticle dimers can be much more enhanced than those of the concentric ones. Also the plasmon resonance wavelengths of the dimers can be effectively tuned by the non-concentric shifts between the core and shell. The proposed nanostructures can have great potential in various near field applications.     

Normal modes and quality factors of shielded composite dielectric spherical resonators

Electromagnetic field analysis of shielded composite dielectric spherical resonator in which the dielectric sphere is composed of two concentric spheres with different dielectric materials has been made. Characteristic equations for the TE_nmℓ and TM_nmℓ modes have been derived. From these characteristic equations, the resonant frequencies and quality factors have been calculated using numerical method. Computations of the resonant frequencies and quality factors have been made for resonators with parameters suitable for the optical and microware regions. In this paper we have presented the analysis and the results obtained from the numerical computations for shielded composite dielectric spherical resonator in which the dielectric sphere is composed of two concentric spheres with different dielectric materials. Starting from the Maxwell’s equations for such a resonators have been derived and resonant frequencies and quality factor’s have been calculated for the TE_nmℓ and TM_nmℓ modes using numerical method.     

Control of extraordinary light transmission through perforated metal films using liquid crystals

We calculate the effective dielectric tensor of a metal film penetrated by cylindrical holes filled with a nematic liquid crystal (NLC). We assume that the director of the NLC is parallel to the film, and that its direction within the plane can be controlled by a static magnetic field, via the Freedericksz effect. To calculate the effective dielectric tensor, we consider both randomly distributed holes (using a Maxwell-Garnett approximation) and a square lattice of holes (using a Fourier technique). Both the holes and the lattice constant of the square lattice are assumed small compared to the wavelength. The films are found to exhibit extraordinary light transmission at special frequencies related to the surface plasmon resonances of the composite film. Furthermore, the frequencies of peak transmission are found to be substantially split when the dielectric in the holes is anisotropic. For typical NLC parameters, the splitting is of order 5–10% of the metal plasma frequency. Thus, the extraordinary transmission can be controlled by a static magnetic or electric field whose direction can be rotated to orient the director of the NLC. Finally, as a practical means of producing the NLC-filled holes, we consider the case where the entire perforated metal film is dipped into a pool of NLC, so that all the holes are filled with the NLC, and there are also homogeneous slabs of NLC on both sides of the film. The transmission in this geometry is shown to have similar characteristics to that in which the NLC-filled screen is placed in air.     

On the presence of spatial pattern formation in a bistable dynamical system

The aim is to investigate whether in a structural bistable reaction-diffusion system pattern formation may emerge simultaneously from both steady states. Therefore, a dynamical system is modelled by three coupled nonlinear differential equations from which synergetic ordering may arise. In addition, the nonlinear terms are chosen such that the homogeneous system is governed by the canonical form of a cusp bifurcation in a two-dimensional control space. Thus, structural bistability is established. Based on a linear stability analysis the region of bistability is decomposed into four different domains in the control plane. It is shown that in one of these domains self-organization can lead to pattern formation from both steady states simultaneously. In two other domains self-organization can arise from only one steady state and finally in one domain patterning is impossible. An expression for the wavelength of a spatial structure is derived and discussed in terms of parameters of the system. As a possible application of the present results a crystal under irradiation with particles of high energy is considered. It is demonstrated for the case of steel that the parameters of the system can be chosen such that a two-fold spatial instability for irradiation induced cavities may emerge.     

Separation of nonstationary sound fields in the time-wavenumber domain

A number of sound field separation techniques have been proposed for different purposes. However, these techniques just consider the separation of sound fields in the space domain and are restricted to stationary sound fields. When the sound fields are nonstationary, it is also necessary to perform the separation in the time domain. Therefore, on the basis of the propagation principle of sound pressure in the time-wavenumber domain, a nonstationary sound field separation technique with two closely spaced parallel measurement surfaces is proposed. It can separate the nonstationary signals generated by the primary sources in both time and space domains when the disturbing sources exist on the other side of the measurement plane. The signals in time and space domains are separated by using the spatial Fourier transform method and the time domain deconvolution method. A simulation involving two monopoles driven by nonstationary signals demonstrates that the method proposed can remove the influence of disturbing sources in both time and space domains. The feasibility of this method is also demonstrated by an experiment with two loudspeakers located on two sides of measurement planes. Additionally, to comment more objectively on the separation results, some indicators are computed in both the simulation and experiment.     

Narrow and Dual-Band Tunable Absorption of a Composite Structure with a Graphene Metasurface

A tunable absorber, composed of a graphene ribbon on two layers of TiO_2-Au between two slabs of dielectric material all on a metal substrate, is designed and numerically investigated. The absorption of the composite structure varies with the geometrical parameters of the structure and the physical parameters of graphene at mid-infrared frequencies. The numerical simulation shows that a near-perfect absorption with single and dual bands can be achieved in a certain frequency range. We also analyze the electric and surface current distributions to study the dual-band absorber. The results show that the absorber can be tuned by the chemical potential and electron-phonon relaxation time of graphene, and electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon can be obtained. The results of this study may be beneficial in the fields of infrared communication, perfect absorbers,sensors and filters.     

Thermodielectric bistability in dual frequency nematic liquid crystal

We report on a thermodielectric bistability in dual frequency nematic liquid crystals (LCs) caused by the anisotropic nature of dielectric heating and director reorientation in an electric field. The bistability is a result of the positive feedback loop: director reorientation --> anisotropic dielectric heating --> dielectric anisotrophy --> director reorientation. We demonstrate both experimentally and theoretically that two states with different temperature and director orientation, namely, a cold planar state and a hot homeotropic state coexist in a LC cell for a certain frequency and amplitude range of the applied voltage.

Domain-based magnetoelectric studies for single crystals of chromium oxide

As is well known, the sign of parallel magnetoelectric susceptibility for chromium oxide can be positive or negative both depending on prehistory of the sample, but it is always opposite to the perpendicular susceptibility. In order to explain this behaviour, the concept of antiferromagnetic domains depending on the existence of two possibilities spin orientation in a magnetic unit cell was invoked both by Rado and Astrov. The authors have carried out detailed studies of domain-based magnetoelectric effect for Cr₂O₃ and the results are presented in this communication. Investigations were carried out both for static and dynamic effect. For static measurements the dielectric constant method developed earlier has been used. The domain pattern in the sample is altered by cooling in simultaneous presence of different electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields from paramagnetic state to the ordered state, and the magnetoelectric susceptibility evaluated. From the measurements it is concluded that the deciding parameter of magnetoelectric susceptibility if product of fields EB for low fields as reported by Martin and Anderson. For high fields, the electric field seems to play a more significant role, and magnetoelectric susceptibility is a function of E²B used for cooling. Static measurements are also extended to low temperatures for parallel susceptibility for the sample with largest magnetoelectric susceptibility. In the temperature range used (90 K to room temperature) the change in susceptibility observed is not very significant, a fact which is hard to explain. Data about the effect of variation of cooling rate and step function cooling is also presented, and it is concluded, though not in a definite manner, that rectangular step function cooling is as effective as continuous rate cooling in deciding magnetoelectric susceptibility of the sample.For dynamic studies, again the dielectric constant method is used, and measurements are reported at different frequencies for a sample with possibly a large number of domains. Two resonant peaks in the dielectric constant are observed and they are tentatively explained on the basis of domain wall resonance.
