    Ghost imaging without beam splitter

    Full text link
    Many significant results have been achieved in the fields of ghost imaging, in which the beam splitter is an indispensable optical component. This paper introduces a method to realize ghost imaging without beam splitter. And we study this method experimentally and theoretically. Finally, we suggest that our device can be applied to implement the ghost imaging when we use the Sun light as the light source

    Correlations and fluctuations of a confined electron gas

    Full text link
    The grand potential Ω\Omega and the response R=−∂Ω/∂xR = - \partial \Omega /\partial x of a phase-coherent confined noninteracting electron gas depend sensitively on chemical potential μ\mu or external parameter xx. We compute their autocorrelation as a function of μ\mu, xx and temperature. The result is related to the short-time dynamics of the corresponding classical system, implying in general the absence of a universal regime. Chaotic, diffusive and integrable motions are investigated, and illustrated numerically. The autocorrelation of the persistent current of a disordered mesoscopic ring is also computed.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Phys. Rev.

    Workshop on dimensional analysis for design, development, and research executives

    Get PDF
    The proceedings of a conference of research and development executives are presented. The purpose of the meeting was to develop an understanding of the conditions which are appropriate for the use of certain general management tools and those conditions which render these tools inappropriate. The verbatim statements of the participants are included to show the direction taken initially by the conference. Formal presentations of management techniques for research and development are developed

    Nonlinear coherent transport of waves in disordered media

    Full text link
    We present a diagrammatic theory for coherent backscattering from disordered dilute media in the nonlinear regime. The approach is non-perturbative in the strength of the nonlinearity. We show that the coherent backscattering enhancement factor is strongly affected by the nonlinearity, and corroborate these results by numerical simulations. Our theory can be applied to several physical scenarios like scattering of light in nonlinear Kerr media, or propagation of matter waves in disordered potentials.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Transport of quantum noise through random media

    Get PDF
    We present an experimental study of the propagation of quantum noise in a multiple scattering random medium. Both static and dynamic scattering measurements are performed: the total transmission of noise is related to the mean free path for scattering, while the noise frequency correlation function determines the diffusion constant. The quantum noise observables are found to scale markedly differently with scattering parameters compared to classical noise observables. The measurements are explained with a full quantum model of multiple scattering

    Statistics of the Mesoscopic Field

    Full text link
    We find in measurements of microwave transmission through quasi-1D dielectric samples for both diffusive and localized waves that the field normalized by the square root of the spatially averaged flux in a given sample configuration is a Gaussian random process with position, polarization, frequency, and time. As a result, the probability distribution of the field in the random ensemble is a mixture of Gaussian functions weighted by the distribution of total transmission, while its correlation function is a product of correlators of the Gaussian field and the square root of the total transmission.Comment: RevTex: 5 pages, 2 figures; to be presented at Aspects of Quantum Chaotic Scattering (Dresden, March 7-12, 2005

    Photoproduction Processes in Polarized ep - Collisions at HERA

    Get PDF
    We study various conceivable photoproduction reactions in a polarized ep collider mode of HERA with respect to their sensitivity to the proton's polarized gluon distribution. A special emphasis is put on the `resolved' part of the cross sections which in principle opens the possibility to determine for the first time also the completely unknown parton content of longitudinally polarized photons. In the very promising case of dijet production we also investigate the impact of parton showering, hadronization and jet finding on the parton level results.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, 7 figures, uses epsfig, amssymb, and a41 (included) styles; Contribution to the proceedings of the 1997 workshop on 'Physics with Polarized Protons at HERA', Hamburg and Zeuthen, Germany, March-September 199
