Carrier extraction circuit

Feedback loop extracts demodulated reference signals from IF input and feeds signal back to demodulator. Since reference signal is extracted directly from carrier, no separate reference need be transmitted. Circuit obtains coherent carrier from balanced or unbalanced four-phase signal of varying characteristics

Raman scattering from a superconductivity-induced bound state in MgB2MgB_2

It is shown that the sharp peak in the $E_{2g}$ Raman spectrum of superconducting $MgB_2$ is due to a bound state caused by the electron-phonon coupling. Our theory explains why this peak appears only in the spectra with $E_{2g}$ symmetry and only in the $\sigma$ but not $\pi$ bands. The properties of the bound state and the Raman spectrum are investigated, also in the presence of impurity scattering.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, will appear in PR

Optical Dipole Trapping beyond Rotating Wave Approximation: The case of Large Detuning

We show that the inclusion of counter-rotating terms, usually dropped in evaluations of interaction of an electric dipole of a two level atom with the electromagnetic field, leads to significant modifications of trapping potential in the case of large detuning. The results are shown to be in excellent numerical agreement with recent experimental findings, for the case of modes of Laguerre-Gauss spatial profile.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figure
