Normal mode splitting in hybrid BEC-optomechanical system

We consider an opto-mechanical cavity system consisting of Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), trapped inside the optical cavity and driven by single mode laser field. The intracavity field acts as nonlinear spring which couples the condensate mode with moving end mirror of the cavity. We study the occurrence of normal mode splitting in the position spectra of the mechanical oscillator and condensate mode as a consequence of hybridization of the fluctuations of intracavity field, mechanical mode and condensate mode. We also discuss the modification in the dynamics of the mechanical oscillator due to frequency of the collective oscillations of cold atoms and the back action of the atoms on the mechanical mirror. Moreover, we investigate the normal mode splitting in the transmission spectrum of cavity field.     

A novel route to synthesize libraries of quinoxalines via Petasis methodology in two synthetic operations

This Letter reveals an innovative and facile procedure to prepare quinoxalines in two synthetic steps. The microwave assisted Petasis reaction is followed by the acid mediated unmasking of an internal amino nucleophile, cyclodehydration and oxidation to give collections of quinoxalines in good to excellent yields.     

Structural changes in tin oxide thin film with laser exposure

The effects of laser irradiation on the surface, structure and optical properties of SnO thin films deposited on glass substrates using electron beam evaporation, are investigated. The thin film samples are irradiated using fundamental beam at 1064 nm from Q-switched Nd:YAG pulsed laser with different power densities. Structural morphology of the film is investigated using XRD patterns and AFM image. Both XRD pattern and AFM image show increase in grain size of the film with increasing laser power density. Other optical phenomena, photoluminescence emission, transmission, refractive index determination and optical band gaps calculations are also carried out at various laser power densities. Results from all these investigations reveal expansion in grain size of the crystalline SnO thin film with increasing laser power density.     

Radiation properties of a uniaxial chiral quadratic inhomogeneous slab under oblique incidence

In this paper, the focussing of the transmitted electromagnetic field through a quadric inhomogeneous slab of lossless uniaxial chiral medium is derived using transmission coefficient under oblique incidence. The inhomogeneity in the uniaxial chiral slab has been incorporated through permittivity parameter. Asymptotic ray theory provides valid field everywhere except at focal point where it gives infinite value. Singularity of the field at focal point is addressed using Maslov's method. The derived analytical field expressions at caustic or focal point of uniaxial quadratic inhomogeneous slab have been solved numerically using MATHEMATICA. The effects of chirality parameter, axial permittivity, transvers permittivity, angle of incidence on the refracted field are discussed and the effects of Brewster angle on the focussed field are also discussed. The results obtained using Maslov's method are compared with Huygens–Kirchhoff's integral which are in good agreement.     

Entangled coherent states for quantum information processing

Entangled coherent states (ECSs) with relative phase equal to the phase shift between two coherent states are constructed. We study the degree of entanglement and the nonclassical features exhibited by the so-constructed states keeping in view their role in quantum information processing (QIP).     

Ab initio study of structural,electronic and optical properties of ternary CdO1-xSex alloys using special quasi-random structures

The structural, electronic, and optical properties of binary CdO, CdSe, and their ternary CdO1 xSexalloys(0 ≤ x ≤ 1) in the rock salt and zinc blend phases have been studied by the special quasi-random structure(SQS) method. All the calculations are performed using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital’s(FP-LAPW+lo) method within the framework of density function theory(DFT). We use Wu–Cohen(WC) generalized gradient approximation(GGA) to calculate structural parameters, whereas both Wu–Cohen and Engel–Vosko(EV) GGA have been applied to calculate electronic structure of the materials. Our predicted results of lattice constant and bulk modulus show only a slight deviation from Vegard’s law for the whole concentrations. The obtained band structure indicates that for the rock-salt phase, the ternary alloys present semi-metallic behavior, while for the zinc blend phase, semiconductor behavior with direct bandgap is observed with decreasing order of x except for CdSe. Finally, by incorporating the basic optical properties, we discuss the dielectric function, refractive index, optical reflectivity, the absorption coefficient, and optical conductivity in terms of incident photon energy up to 14 eV. The calculated results of both binaries are in agreement with existing experimental and theoretical values.
