Competition and coexistence of multiple mutually pumped oscillations in the visible and infra-red
A photorefractive oscillator. mutually pumped by three wavelengths is presented in various configurations and competition effects demonstrated. The theoretical model used to simulate the behaviour of the oscillation beams is in good agreement with experimental data
Near-field Image Transfer by Magneto-Inductive Arrays: a Modal Perspective
A simple model of near-field pixel-to-pixel image transfer using
magneto-inductive arrays is presented. The response of N-dimensional
rectangular arrays is first found as an excitation of eigenmodes. This
analytical method involves approximating the effect of sources and detectors,
and replaces the problem of solving large numbers of simultaneous equations
with that of evaluating a sum. Expressions are given for the modal expansion
coefficients, and in the low-loss case it is shown that the coefficient values
depend only on the difference in reciprocal frequency space of the operating
frequency from the resonant frequency of each mode. Analytic expressions are
then derived for quasi-optical quantities such as the spatial frequency
response, point-spread function and resolving power, and their implications for
imaging fidelity and resolution are examined for arrays of different dimension.
The results show clearly that there can be no useful image transfer for in-band
excitation. Out-of-band excitation allows image transfer. Provided the array is
larger than the expected image by at least the size of the point spread
function, the effect of the array boundaries may be ignored and imaging is
determined purely by the properties of the medium. However, there is a tradeoff
between fidelity and throughput, and good imaging performance using thick slabs
depends on careful choice of the operating frequency. The approximate analytic
method is verified by comparison of exact numerical solution
Subkelvin tunneling spectroscopy showing Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductivity in heavily boron-doped silicon epilayers
Scanning tunneling spectroscopies in the subKelvin temperature range were
performed on superconducting Silicon epilayers doped with Boron in the atomic
percent range. The resulting local differential conductance behaved as expected
for a homogeneous superconductor, with an energy gap dispersion below +/- 10%.
The spectral shape, the amplitude and temperature dependence of the
superconductivity gap follow the BCS model, bringing further support to the
hypothesis of a hole pairing mechanism mediated by phonons in the weak coupling
limit.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Magnetic dipole moments in single and coupled split-ring resonators
We examine the role of magnetic dipoles in single and coupled pairs of
metallic split-ring resonators by numerically computing their magnitude and
examining their relative contributions to the scattering cross section. We
demonstrate that magnetic dipoles can strongly influence the scattering cross
section along particular directions. It is also found that the magnetic dipole
parallel to the incident magnetic field and/or high-order multipoles may play a
significant role in the linear response of coupled split-ring resonators.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
