Energy-Momentum Pseudo-Tensor of Relic Gravitational Wave of Both the Polarized States

Unlike usual celestial gravitational waves, the relic gravitational waves （RGWs） form random signals in curved spacetime background. We calculate the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor of a certain component of the RGWs propagating along arbitrary directions in Cartesian coordinates. It is found that the energy density of RGWs is positive definitely, and the momentum density components have reasonable behaviour. Such results may provide a theoretical basis for the detection of RGWs.

Phase and Polarization State of High-Frequency Relic Gravitational Waves

The displaying condition of strength, phase and polarization states of high-frequency relic gravitational waves （HFRGWs） in electromagnetic （EM） detecting systems is studied. It is shown that the displaying condition depends not only on the sensitivity of EM detecting systems and the amplitudes of HFRGWs, but also on the phase, the polarization states of HFRGWs and their matching to the EM detecting systems. In order to display simultaneously the strength, phase and polarization states of the resonant ＂monochromatic component＂ of HFRGWs, an important necessary condition is the utilization of two or more different EM detectors.     

A special form of electrodynamical response to a gravitational wave：outgoing and imploding photon fluxes

We have investigated the interaction of an electromagnetic (EM) wave with a standing gravitational wave (GW) in an external static magnetic field,and obtained concrete forms of first-order perturbative EM energy fluxes.Unlike the propagating properties of the “left-circular” and “right-circular” waves of the tangential perturbative energy fluxes around the symmetrical axis,the radial perturbative energy fluxes are expressed as the outgoing and imploding waves to the symmetrical axis.We also examine several physical examples and show that this effect can produce very small but nonvanishing radial perturbative photon fluxes.This may be useful for EM detection of the high-frequency relic GWs of the GHz region in quintessential inflationary models.     

POSITIVE DEFINITE PROBLEM OF ENERGY DENSITY AND RADIATIVE ENERGY FLUX FOR PULSE CYLINDRICAL GRAVITATIONAL WAVE

By using the general expressions of energy momentum pseudo-tensor of the cylin-drical gravitational waves (GW) given by Rosen and Virbhadra in Cartesian coor-dinates, the concrete forms of energy density and radiative energy flux of the pulse cylindrical GW are obtained. Their physical properties, suitable range and asymp-totic behaviour are considered. It is found that: For the region in which space radial coordinates to origin are greater than the pulse width of the pulse cylindrical GW, the energy density and radiative energy flux of the outward travelling pulse cylindrical GW propagating along at light-cone are positive definite. However, for the region in which the space radial coordinates are less than the pulse width, there is no guarantee for the positive definite property of the radiative energy flux of the outward travelling wave. Moreover, we show that the asymptotic behaviour of the energy and energy flux densities of the pulse cylindrical GW and that of the Riemann curvature tensor have good self-consistancy in space like, time like and null infinity regions.     

在一静态磁场中强电磁波束对引力波的谐振响应

给出了在一静态磁场中强电磁波束对一引力驻波谐振响应的具体形式,并得到了相应的扰动解和谐振条件.我们发现,扰动电磁场将包含3种新的频率成分：｜ω_g±ω_e｜和ω_g.在ω_e>>ω_g±的情况下,扰动电磁场表现为频率为ω_e±的电磁波束和频率为ω_g±的电磁驻波,前者和背景电磁波束具有相同的传播方向;而在ω_g±>>ω_e±的情况下,所有的扰动电磁场均表现为频率为ω_g±的电磁驻波.谐振响应只发生在ω_e±=ω_g±和ω_g±=ω_g±两种情况下,这时不仅可以产生与背景电磁波束同向和反向传播的一阶扰动电磁能流,而且还可以产生传播方向垂直于背景电磁波束的径向和切向一阶扰动电磁能流.这一效应可望为引力波的电磁探测提供一种新的途径.此外,还讨论了在单光子雪崩效应层次上并在典型实验室尺度范围内,显示由h=10 ^-33～10^-35 , λ_g=0.1m的引力驻波产生的扰动电磁效应的可能方案.     

狭窄波束型高频引力辐射与电磁场的作用效应

从弱引力场的Einstein-Maxwell方程出发,讨论了晶体空间阵列的狭窄波束型高频引力辐射与电磁场的作用效应,并给出了扰动解。计算表明,在TT(Transvese Traceless)坐标系中,最优辐射方向的引力波束是纯十型极化的,并可使同频的电磁波产生倍频的扰动效应,使静态电磁场产生与时间成线性关系的累积扰动效应。对于任意方向上的引力辐射波束,在垂直于引力波矢的平面内仍然是纯十型极化的。在高频辐射和实验室典型尺度条件下,TT坐标系与Fermi坐标系的差异是可以忽略的。 关键词：     

Energy—Momentum Pseudo—tensor of Cylindrical Gravitational Waves of Both the Polarized States

According to the Einstein-Tolman expression of the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor(EMPT),we calculate the EMPT of cylindrical gravitational waves (CGW) of both the polarized states (BPS) in cylindrical polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates.We find that Cartesian coordinates are the more suitable coordinates to describe the CGW of BPS.

Utilization of Electromagnetic Detector for Selection and Detection of High-Frequency Relic Gravitational Waves

It is shown that the coupling system between fractal membranes and a Gaussian beam passing through a static magnetic field has strong selection capability for the stochastic relic gravitational wave （GW） background. The relic GW components propagating along the positive direction of the symmetrical axis of the Gaussian beam might generate an optimal electromagnetic perturbation, while the perturbation produced by the relic GW components propagating along the negative and perpendicular directions to the symmetrical axis will be much less than the former, and the influence of the random fluctuation of the relic GWs to such effect can be neglected. The high-frequency relic GWs satisfying the parameters requirement （h - 10^-31 or larger）, frequency resonance and “direction coupling”, in principle, would be selectable and measurable in seconds.
