Linearly Polarized Modes of a Corrugated Metallic Waveguide
A linearly polarized (LP[subscript mn]) mode basis set for oversized, corrugated, metallic waveguides is derived for the special case of quarter-wavelength-depth circumferential corrugations. The relationship between the LPmn modes and the conventional modes (HEmn, EHmn, TE0n, TM0n) of the corrugated guide is shown. The loss in a gap or equivalent miter bend in the waveguide is calculated for single-mode and multimode propagation on the line. In the latter case, it is shown that modes of the same symmetry interfere with one another, causing enhanced or reduced loss, depending on the relative phase of the modes. If two modes with azimuthal (m) indexes that differ by one propagate in the waveguide, the resultant centroid and the tilt angle of radiation at the guide end are shown to be related through a constant of the motion. These results describe the propagation of high-power linearly polarized radiation in overmoded corrugated waveguides.United States. Dept. of Energy (Office of Fusion Energy Sciences)United States.

Excitation spectrum of vortex lattices in rotating Bose-Einstein condensates
Using the coarse grain averaged hydrodynamic approach, we calculate the
excitation spectrum of vortex lattices sustained in rotating Bose-Einstein
condensates. The spectrum gives the frequencies of the common-mode longitudinal
waves in the hydrodynamic regime, including those of the higher-order
compressional modes. Reasonable agreement with the measurements taken in a
recent JILA experiment is found, suggesting that one of the longitudinal modes
reported in the experiment is likely to be the , mode.Comment: 2 figures. Submitted to Physical Review A. v2 contains more
