Feedback-free optical cavity with self-resonating mechanism
We demonstrated the operation of a high finesse optical cavity without
utilizing an active feedback system to stabilize the resonance. The effective
finesse, which is a finesse including the overall system performance, of the
cavity was measured to be , and the laser power stored in
the cavity was kW, which is approximately 187,000 times greater
than the incident power to the cavity. The stored power was stabilized with a
fluctuation of , and we confirmed continuous cavity operation for more
than two hours. This result has the potential to trigger an innovative
evolution for applications that use optical resonant cavities such as compact
photon sources with laser-Compton scattering or cavity enhanced absorption
spectroscopy.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
Numerical simulation of dynamic behavior of droplet on solid surface by the two-phase lattice Boltzmann method
The dynamic behavior of a droplet on a solid surface is simulated by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for two-phase fluids with large density differences; the wetting boundary condition on solid walls is incorporated in this simulation. By using the method, the dynamic behavior of a droplet impinging on a horizontal wall is investigated in terms of various Weber numbers. The dynamic contact angle, the contact line velocity, and the wet length are calculated, and found to be in good agreement with available experimental data. In addition, the method is applied to simulations of the collision of a falling droplet with a stationary droplet on a solid surface. The behavior of the droplets and the mixing process during their collision are simulated in terms of various impact velocities and several static contact angles on the solid surface. It is seen that mixing occurs around the rim of the coalescent droplet due to the circular flows. Also, the relationship between the mixing rate of the primary coalescent droplet and Weber number is investigated.ArticleCOMPUTERS & FLUIDS. 40(1):68-78 (2011)journal articl
A parametric study of cognitive defusion and the believability and discomfort of negative self-relevant thoughts
A previous time series study showed that rapidly repeating a single word version of a negative self-referential thought reduced the discomfort and the believability associated with that thought. The present parametric study examined whether durations of word repetition were differentially effective in altering the discomfort and believability of negative self-referential thought. In two studies, both discomfort and believability varied systematically with the duration of word repetition. The effects of rapid repetition on emotional discomfort bottomed out after 3 to 10 seconds of rapid repetition, while the effects on believability did so after 20 to 30 seconds of repetition. This study lends support to the cognitive defusion interpretation of the effect of word repetition, suggesting that emotional discomfort and believability may be distinctive functional aspects of cognitive events
Photon generation by laser-Compton scattering at the KEK-ATF
We performed a photon generation experiment by laser-Compton scattering at
the KEK-ATF, aiming to develop a Compton based polarized positron source for
linear colliders. In the experiment, laser pulses with a 357 MHz repetition
rate were accumulated and their power was enhanced by up to 250 times in the
Fabry-Perot optical resonant cavity. We succeeded in synchronizing the laser
pulses and colliding them with the 1.3 GeV electron beam in the ATF ring while
maintaining the laser pulse accumulation in the cavity. As a result, we
observed 26.0 +/- 0.1 photons per electron-laser pulse crossing, which
corresponds to a yield of 10^8 photons in a second.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figures, Preprint submitted to TIPP09 Proceedings in NIM
