傍轴光束在单轴左手介质中传输的矢量性质

研究了沿光轴入射的傍轴光束在单轴左手介质中传输的矢量性质.通过平面角谱的方法得到了横电(TE)波和横磁(TM)波在单轴左手介质中传输的严格解，并得到了傍轴近似下的矢量传输模型.利用这一模型，分析得到垂直于光轴方向不同偏振态的入射光束在单轴左手介质中同时激发横向场和低阶纵向场.如果单轴左手介质的介电常数张量在沿垂直于光轴方向上的元素不相等，同时磁导率张量在沿垂直于光轴方向上的两元素也不相等(即z方向为光轴方向，_x≠_y,μ_x≠μ_y),那么入射光束激发的横向场的分布与入射光束的初始场分布和偏振态有关，而纵向场的分布与入射光束的偏振态无关，只决定于入射光束的初始场分布. 关键词： 傍轴传输 单轴左手介质 矢量效应     

Propagation of partially polarized, partially coherent beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis

The propagation of partially polarized and partially coherent beams in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis is investigated. The analytical formulae for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of partially polarized and partially coherent beams propagating through uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical are derived. The numerical results show that the degree of polarization decreases with the increase of the ratio of extraordinary to ordinary refractive indices at a certain propagation distance, and the influence of uniaxial crystals on the degree of coherent is not so evident. And the beams spread more rapidly in the direction parallel to the optical axis than orthogonal to the optical axis in positive crystal with the propagation distance increasing.     

Attenuation of electromagnetic wave propagation in sandstorms incorporating charged sand particles

A theoretical approach for predicting the attenuation of microwave propagation in sandstorms is presented, with electric charges generated on the sand grains taken into account. It is found that the effect of electric charges distributed partially on the sand surface is notable. The calculated attenuation is in good agreement with that measured in certain conditions. The distribution of electric charges on the surface of sand grains, which is not easy to measure, can be approximately determined by measuring the attenuation value of electromagnetic waves. Some effects of sand radius, dielectric permittivity, frequency of electromagnetic wave, and visibility of sandstorms on the attenuation are also discussed quantitatively. Finally, a new electric parameter is introduced to describe the roles of scattering, absorption and effect of charges in attenuation.     

Scattering of shaped beam by a conducting infinite cylinder with dielectric coating

Based on the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory (GLMT), which provides the general framework and expansion of the incident shaped beam in terms of cylindrical vector wave functions, an analytic solution to the electromagnetic scattering by coated infinite cylinders is constructed for arbitrary incidence of a shaped beam. As an example, for a tightly focused Gaussian beam propagating perpendicularly to the cylinder axis, the scattering characteristics that obviously demonstrate the three-dimensional nature are described in detail, and numerical results of the normalized differential scattering cross section are evaluated.

1/N-Expansion for the Dicke model and the decoherence program

An analysis of the Dicke model, N two-level atoms interacting with a single radiation mode, is done using the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. The main aim of the paper is to show that, changing the quantization axis with respect to the common usage, it is possible to prove a general result either for N or the coupling constant going to infinity for the exact solution of the model. This completes the analysis, known in the current literature, with respect to the same model in the limit of N and volume going to infinity, keeping the density constant. For the latter the proper axis of quantization is given by the Hamiltonian of the two-level atoms and for the former the proper axis of quantization is defined by the interaction. The relevance of this result relies on the observation that a general measurement apparatus acts using electromagnetic interaction and so, one can state that the thermodynamic limit is enough to grant the appearance of classical effects. Indeed, recent experimental results give first evidence that superposition states disappear interacting with an electromagnetic field having a large number of photons.     

Investigation in the far field characteristics of TM polarized Gaussian beam from the vectorial structure

Based on the vectorial structure of electromagnetic beam and the method of stationary phase, the analytical TE and TM terms of TM polarized Gaussian beam, the rigorous solution of Maxwell's equations for a confocal resonator, have been presented in the far field. Then in terms of the vectorial structure, TM polarized Gaussian beam is compared with Gaussian TEM₀₀ mode. The TE term is located at the y-axis, and the TM term the x-axis. At the non-paraxial case, the whole beam spot is elliptical, and the long axis is located at the y-axis. Moreover, the whole beam spot of TM polarized Gaussian beam is smaller than that of Gaussian TEM₀₀ mode. At the paraxial case, the whole beam spot is circular, and TM polarized Gaussian beam reduces to be Gaussian TEM₀₀ mode.     

Study on composite photonic crystal patch antenna

The paper investigated a composite photonic crystal patch antenna by using the method of finite difference time domain (FDTD). The results show that there exists a wave resonance state at 2.635 GHz, where the real part of the permittivity and permeability are all negative; its refraction index is –1. The effect has largely enhanced the electromagnetic wave’s resonance intensity, and has improved the localized extent of electromagnetic energy obviously in such photonic crystal structure (PBG), resulting in a higher antenna gain, a lower return loss, and a better improvement of the antenna’s characteristics. Due to such the advantages, the use of patch antennas can be extended to such fields as mobile communication, satellite communication, aviation, etc.     

Kramers-Kronig relations and the barrier interaction time problem

It is shown that the two characteristic interaction times and for classical electromagnetic waves with an arbitrarily shaped barrier are not independent quantities, but are connected by Kramers-Kronig relations for the real and imaginary components of a causal magnitude. The corresponding macroscopic sum rule for the complex time is also derived. An analogy between the interaction time problem and an electrical circuit with capacitive and conducting frequency dependent components is established. Received: 21 July 1998

Electromagnetic Waves in a Medium with Screw Dislocations

It is shown that in a medium with screw dislocations oriented predominantly along one axis the rotational velocity of the plane of polarization of an electromagnetic wave is much greater when it propagates in the direction perpendicular to this axis than in the parallel direction. For a given dislocation density tensor, the conditions under which the rotational velocity of the plane of polarization of the electromagnetic wave reaches its maximum are found.

Superluminal electromagnetic focus wave modes

Rather simple and manageable expressions for TM electromagnetic waves allow the investigation of these new localized solutions of Maxwell's equations.

Beam criteria for propagation of electromagnetic beams in the turbulent atmosphere

A recently introduced criterion [O. Korotkova, E. Wolf, Opt. Lett. 32 (2007) 2137] for testing whether a scalar beam preserves its beam-like shape after it propagates some distance through the turbulent atmosphere is generalized to the case of electromagnetic beam propagation. The generalized criterion applies to monochromatic as well as to stochastic electromagnetic beams. The analysis is illustrated by examples.     

Formation and dynamics of Saturn and its disk simulated by using a new N-body model

The formation of Saturn and its disk is simulated using a new N-body self-gravitational model. It is demonstrated that the formation of the disk and the planet is the result of gravitational contraction of a slowly rotated particle cloud that have a shape of slightly deformed sphere. The sphere was flattened by a coefficient of 0.8 along the axis of rotation. During the gravitational contraction, the major part of the cloud transformed into a planet and a minor part transformed into a disk. The thin structured disk is a result of the electromagnetic interaction in which the magnetic forces acting on charged particles of the cloud originate in the core of the planet. The simulation program gives such parameters of Saturn as the escape velocity of about 35 km/s at the surface, density, rotational velocities of the rings and temperature distribution.     

Zeeman effect in α-quartz

The helical crystal structure in α-quartz acts as the natural micro-solenoids for an electromagnetic wave passing through them, producing a longitudinal magnetic field in the direction of the optical axis. The longitudinal magnetic field further induces the Larmor frequency for the rotation of the bound electrons. The calculated Larmor frequency was experimentally confirmed by monitoring a line splitting of the infrared OH-band in the transmission spectra of α-quartz. A shift in the resonance frequency of the OH-band is equal to the Larmor frequency induced by the natural Zeeman effect.
