Photoelectron spectra in an autoionization system interacting with a neighboring atom

Photoelectron ionization spectra of an autoionization system with one discrete level interacting with a neighbor two-level atom are discussed. The formula for long-time ionization spectra is derived. According to this formula, the spectra can be composed of up to eight peaks. Moreover, the Fano-like zeros for weak optical pumping have been identified in these spectra. The conditional ionization spectra depending on the state of the neighbor atom exhibit oscillations at the Rabi frequency. Dynamical spectral zeros occurring once per the Rabi period have been revealed in these spectra.Comment: 10 pages, 13 figure

Surface spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Surface spontaneous parametric down-conversion is predicted as a consequence of continuity requirements for electric- and magnetic-field amplitudes at a discontinuity of chi2 nonlinearity. A generalization of the usual two-photon spectral amplitude is suggested to describe this effect. Examples of nonlinear layered structures and periodically-poled nonlinear crystals show that surface contributions to spontaneous down-conversion can be important.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Emission of photon pairs at discontinuities of nonlinearity in spontaneous parametric down-conversion

In order to fulfil the continuity requirements for electric- and magnetic-field amplitudes at discontinuities of chi2 nonlinearity additional photon pairs have to be emitted in the area of discontinuity. Generalized two-photon spectral amplitudes can be used to describe properties of photon pairs generated in this process that we call surface spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The spectral structure of such photon pairs is similar to that derived for photon pairs generated in the volume. Surface and volume contributions to spontaneous down-conversion can be comparable as an example of nonlinear layered structures shows.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure

The quantized Jacobi polynomials

summary:The author studies a system of polynomials orthogonal at a finite set of points its weight approximating that of the orthogonal system of classical Jacobi polynomials

A nonparametric test of zero intrapair correlation

summary:The author applies the test criterion of P. Rothety to the statistical analysis of the positive correclation of symmetric pairs of observations. In this particular case he arrives at some new results. His work ends with a general proof of the consistency of Rothery's test

Quantum Behavior of a PT -Symmetric Two-Mode System with Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

Quantum behavior of two oscillator modes, with mutually balanced gain and loss and coupled via linear coupling (including energy conserving as well as energy non-conserving terms) and nonlinear cross-Kerr effect, is investigated. Stationary states are found and their stability analysis is given. Exceptional points for PT -symmetric cases are identified. Quantum dynamics treated by the model of linear operator corrections to a classical solution reveals nonclassical properties of individual modes (squeezing) as well as their entanglement
