This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this research was the theoretical and experimental investigation of the physics of self-pumped and mutually-pumped phase conjugators and the development of novel applications. In addition, the scope of the research was expanded to include the effect of partial coherence (finite coherence length) on nonlinear wave mixing and phase conjugation in photorefractive media. Specifically, the effect of finite mutual coherence on the formation of index gratings, especially 2k-gratings, in two-wave mixing and self-pumped phase conjugation was studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A non-linear wave is one of the fundamental objects of nature. They are inherent to aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, solid state physics and plasma physics, optics and field theory, chemistry reaction kinetics and population dynamics, nuclear physics and gravity. All non-linear waves can be divided into two parts: dispersive waves and dissipative ones. The history of investigation of these waves has been lasting about two centuries. In 1834 J. S. Russell discovered the extraordinary type of waves without the dispersive broadening. In 1965 N. J. Zabusky and M. D. Kruskal found that the Korteweg-de Vries equation has solutions of the solitary wave form. This solitary wave demonstrates the particle-like properties, i. e. , stability under propagation and the elastic interaction under collision of the solitary waves. These waves were named solitons. In succeeding years there has been a great deal of progress in understanding of soliton nature. Now solitons have become the primary components in many important problems of nonlinear wave dynamics. It should be noted that non-linear optics is the field, where all soliton features are exhibited to a great extent. This book had been designed as the tutorial to the theory of non-linear waves in optics. The first version was projected as the book covering all the problems in this field, both analytical and numerical methods, and results as well. However, it became evident in the process of work that this was not a real task.

This book was released on 1992-08-31 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Standard Model of elementary particles, although very successful, contains various elements that are put in by hand. Understanding their origin requires going beyond the model and searching for “new physics”. The present book elaborates on one particular proposal concerning such physics. While the original conception is 50 years old, it has not lost its appeal over time. Its basic idea is that space — an arena of events treated in the Standard Model as a classical background — is a concept which emerges from a strictly discrete quantum layer in the limit of large quantum numbers. This book discusses an extension of this view by replacing space with phase space. It combines the results of the author's research papers and places them in much broader philosophical and phenomenological contexts, thus providing further arguments in favor of the proposed alternative. The book should be of interest to the philosophically-minded readers who are willing to contemplate unorthodox ideas on the very nature of the world.
Download or read book Coherence and Quantum Optics VIII written by N.P. Bigelow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eighth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics was held on the campus of the University of Rochester during the period June 13-16,2001. This volume contains the proceedings of the meeting. The meeting was preceded by an affiliated conference, the International Conference on Quantum Information, with some overlapping sessions on June 13. The proceedings of the affiliated conference will be published separately by the Optical Society of America. A few papers that were presented in common plenary sessions of the two conferences will be published in both proceedings volumes. More than 268 scientists from 28 countries participated in the week long discussions and presentations. This Conference differed from the previous seven in the CQO series in several ways, the most important of which was the absence of Leonard Mandel. Professor Mandel died a few months before the conference. A special memorial symposium in his honor was held at the end of the conference. The presentations from that symposium are included in this proceedings volume. An innovation, that we believe made an important contribution to the conference, was the inclusion of a series of invited lectures chaired by CQO founder Emil Wolf, reviewing the history of the fields of coherence and quantum optics before about 1970. These were given by three prominent participants in the development of the field, C. Cohen-Tannoudji, 1. F. Clauser, and R. I. Glauber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is dedicated to the investigation of the origin of statistical phenomena recently observed in the framework of integrable turbulence. Namely, experimental and numerical studies of the partially-coherent waves propagation in 1-D Nonlinear Schrödinger equation systems revealed a deviation from the Gaussian statistics. Focusing and defocusing regimes of propagation demonstrated qualitatively different behaviour: the probability of extreme events to appear in the focusing case is higher than it is predicted by normal law, while in defocusing it is lower. We provided optical experiments well described by the 1-D Nonlinear Schrödinger equation in order to investigate this problem. We built two novel and complementary ultrafast measurement tools. Employing these tools we provided direct observation of coherent structures which appear at different stages of the propagation in both regimes. Providing analysis of these structures, we determined dominating mechanisms in both focusing and defocusing regimes. In the focusing regime, we discovered the universal appearance of Peregrine soliton-like structures and made a link with the rigorous mathematical result obtained in the semi-classical regime. In the defocusing case, we showed that the mechanism of nonlinear interference of neighbour pulse-like structures defines the evolution of the partially-coherent initial conditions. We considered a simplified model which explained the presence of different scales in the recorded data.

Download or read book Schr dinger Equations in Nonlinear Systems written by Wu-Ming Liu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the diverse types of Schrödinger equations that appear in nonlinear systems in general, with a specific focus on nonlinear transmission networks and Bose–Einstein Condensates. In the context of nonlinear transmission networks, it employs various methods to rigorously model the phenomena of modulated matter-wave propagation in the network, leading to nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. Modeling these phenomena is largely based on the reductive perturbation method, and the derived NLS equations are then used to methodically investigate the dynamics of matter-wave solitons in the network. In the context of Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs), the book analyzes the dynamical properties of NLS equations with the external potential of different types, which govern the dynamics of modulated matter-waves in BECs with either two-body interactions or both two- and three-body interatomic interactions. It also discusses the method of investigating both the well-posedness and the ill-posedness of the boundary problem for linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations and presents new results. Using simple examples, it then illustrates the results on the boundary problems. For both nonlinear transmission networks and Bose–Einstein condensates, the results obtained are supplemented by numerical calculations and presented as figures.
