    Space-time laser instabilities in homogeneously broadened dense media

    Get PDF
    We investigate the space-time dynamics of a homogeneously broadened single-mode laser when local field correction (LFC) is taken into account. We demonstrate that the Maxwell-Bloch equations modified by LFC admit travelling-wave solutions, as when LFC is not taken into account. Their stability is discussed and compared to the case without LFC

    Effect of Mn Doped and Mn+Sn Co-doping on the Properties of ZnO Thin Films

    Get PDF
    Mn doped and Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO thin films nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by Spray pyrolysis technique at 300 0C. X-ray diffraction study showed that all the films have the hexagonal wurtzite structure with the preferential orientation (002) plane. The optical measurement exhibited an increase in the average transmittance from 77% for Mn doped ZnO to 84% for Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO films in the visible region. Further the optical band gap changes from 3.18 eV for undoped ZnO films to 3.27 eV for Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO films. The electrical resistivity has decreased with incorporation of Mn and Sn ions to reach the minimum value of 11 (Ω.cm) for Mn doped ZnO film

    Stabilization of space–time laser instability through the finite transverse extension of pumping

    Get PDF
    We investigate the space–time dynamics of a homogeneously broadened single-mode laser when diffraction is taken into account. It is well known that such a laser displays instability when pumping reaches the second laser threshold. We show that the laser dynamics can be stabilized by pumping in a domain of finite width. The analysis of stationary solutions to the Maxwell–Bloch equations (evanescent waves, travelling waves, localized solutions) allows the stabilization mechanism to be explained

    Analyse de dynamiques spatio-temporelles d’un laser

    Get PDF
    La dynamique spatio-temporelle d’un système laser avec diffraction est étudiée. La correspondance entre la structure du portrait de phase et l’organisation relative desdéfauts topologiques dans les diagrammes spatio-temporels est clairement mise en évidence. Ainsi, une dynamique de type chaos toroïdal est associée à des défauts apparaissant périodiquement (dans l’espace et dans le temps). En revanche, il n’y a plus de périodicité des défauts sur les diagrammes spatio-temporels lorsque le régime est un chaos développé

    Elastic Scattering of Pions From the Three-nucleon System

    Get PDF
    We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for pi+ 3He and pi- 3H but for neither pi- 3He nor pi+ 3H. We consider the addition of a double spin flip term to an optical model treatment and find that, though the contribution of this term is non-negligible at large angles for pi+ 3He and pi- 3H, it does not reproduce the structure seen in the experiment.Comment: 15 pages + 5 figure

    Faddeev Calculations of Proton-Deuteron Radiative Capture with Exchange Currents

    Get PDF
    pd capture processes at various energies have been analyzed based on solutions of 3N-Faddeev equations and using modern NN forces. The application of the Siegert theorem is compared to the explicit use of π\pi- and ρ\rho-like exchange currents connected to the AV18 NN interaction. Overall good agreement with cross sections and spin observables has been obtained but leaving room for improvement in some cases. Feasibility studies for 3NF's consistently included in the 3N continuum and the 3N bound state have been performed as well.Comment: Minor changes in notation, ps files for figure

    The 3^3He(e, e'd)p Reaction in qω\omega-constant Kinematics

    Full text link
    The cross section for the 3^3He(e, e'd)p reaction has been measured as a function of the missing momentum pmp_m in qω\omega -constant kinematics at beam energies of 370 and 576 MeV for values of the three-momentum transfer qq of 412, 504 and 604 \mevc. The L(+TT), T and LT structure functions have been separated for qq = 412 and 504 \mevc. The data are compared to three-body Faddeev calculations, including meson-exchange currents (MEC), and to calculations based on a covariant diagrammatic expansion. The influence of final-state interactions and meson-exchange currents is discussed. The pmp_m-dependence of the data is reasonably well described by all calculations. However, the most advanced Faddeev calculations, which employ the AV18 nucleon-nucleon interaction and include MEC, overestimate the measured cross sections, especially the longitudinal part, and at the larger values of qq. The diagrammatic approach gives a fair description of the cross section, but under(over)estimates the longitudinal (transverse) structure function.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure

    Lattice Simulations for Light Nuclei: Chiral Effective Field Theory at Leading Order

    Get PDF
    We discuss lattice simulations of light nuclei at leading order in chiral effective field theory. Using lattice pion fields and auxiliary fields, we include the physics of instantaneous one-pion exchange and the leading-order S-wave contact interactions. We also consider higher-derivative contact interactions which adjust the S-wave scattering amplitude at higher momenta. By construction our lattice path integral is positive definite in the limit of exact Wigner SU(4) symmetry for any even number of nucleons. This SU(4) positivity and the approximate SU(4) symmetry of the low-energy interactions play an important role in suppressing sign and phase oscillations in Monte Carlo simulations. We assess the computational scaling of the lattice algorithm for light nuclei with up to eight nucleons and analyze in detail calculations of the deuteron, triton, and helium-4.Comment: 44 pages, 15 figure

    Moscow-type NN-potentials and three-nucleon bound states

    Get PDF
    A detailed description of Moscow-type (M-type) potential models for the NN interaction is given. The microscopic foundation of these models, which appear as a consequence of the composite quark structure of nucleons, is discussed. M-type models are shown to arise naturally in a coupled channel approach when compound or bag-like six-quark states, strongly coupled to the NN channel, are eliminated from the complete multiquark wave function. The role of the deep-lying bound states that appear in these models is elucidated. By introducing additional conditions of orthogonality to these compound six-quark states, a continuous series of almost on-shell equivalent nonlocal interaction models, characterized by a strong reduction or full absence of a local repulsive core (M-type models), is generated. The predictions of these interaction models for 3N systems are analyzed in detail. It is shown that M-type models give, under certain conditions, a stronger binding of the 3N system than the original phase-equivalent model with nodeless wave functions. An analysis of the 3N system with the new versions of the Moscow NN potential describing also the higher even partial waves is presented. Large deviations from conventional NN force models are found for the momentum distribution in the high momentum region. In particular, the Coulomb displacement energy for nuclei ^3He - ^3H displays a promising agreement with experiment when the ^3H binding energy is extrapolated to the experimental value.Comment: 23 pages Latex, 9 figures, to appear in Phys.Rev.

    The Quasielastic 3He(e,e'p)d Reaction at Q^2 = 1.5 GeV^2 for Recoil Momenta up to 1 GeV/c

    Full text link
    We have studied the quasielastic 3He(e,e'p)d reaction in perpendicular coplanar kinematics, with the energy and momentum transferred by the electron fixed at 840 MeV and 1502 MeV/c, respectively. The 3He(e,e'p)d cross section was measured for missing momenta up to 1000 MeV/c, while the A_TL asymmetry was extracted for missing momenta up to 660 MeV/c. For missing momenta up to 150 MeV/c, the measured cross section is described well by calculations that use a variational ground-state wave function of the 3He nucleus derived from a potential that includes three-body forces. For missing momenta from 150 to 750 MeV/c, strong final-state interaction effects are observed. Near 1000 MeV/c, the experimental cross section is more than an order of magnitude larger than predicted by available theories. The A_TL asymmetry displays characteristic features of broken factorization, and is described reasonably well by available models.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letters, v3: changed conten
