Weak nonlinearity for strong non-normality

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We propose a theoretical approach to derive amplitude equations governing the weakly nonlinear evolution of non-normal dynamical systems, when they experience transient growth or respond to harmonic forcing. This approach reconciles the non-modal nature of ...

Experimental demonstration of dynamic spatiotemporal structured beams that simultaneously exhibit two orbital angular momenta by combining multiple frequency lines, each carrying multiple Laguerre-Gaussian modes

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov, Zhe Zhao, Hao Song, Xinzhou Su

In general, there are different, relatively independent forms of orbital angular momenta at a given propagation distance, which might exhibit different dynamic spatial characteristics. One type involves a beam with a helical phase-front that rotates around ...

Theoretical Studies of Nanowire Ion-Sensitive Field Effect Transistor

Jean-Michel Sallese, Ashkhen Yesayan

The operation principle of a semiconductor nanowire (NW) ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET), denoted for pH sensing, is studied within the framework of this work. The physical processes in the system are mathematically modelled and presented in ...

Optomechanical generation of a mechanical catlike state by phonon subtraction

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

We propose a scheme to prepare a macroscopic mechanical oscillator in a catlike state, close to a coherent state superposition. The mechanical oscillator, coupled by radiation-pressure interaction to a field in an optical cavity, is first prepared close to ...

We propose a theoretical study on the electromagnetic forces resulting from the superposition of TE and TM plane waves interacting with a sphere. Specifically, we first show that, under such an illumination condition, the sphere is subjected to a force tra ...

The quantum future of microscopy: Wave function engineering of electrons, ions, and nuclei

Fabrizio Carbone, Thomas La Grange, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Ivan Madan, Simone Gargiulo

The ability to manipulate particles has always been a fundamental aspect for developing and improving scattering and microscopytechniques used for material investigations. So far, microscopy applications have mostly relied on a classical treatment of the e ...

Model order reduction for large-scale structures with local nonlinearities

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Mengwu Guo, Zhenying Zhang

In solid mechanics, linear structures often exhibit (local) nonlinear behavior when close to failure. For instance, the elastic deformation of a structure becomes plastic after being deformed beyond recovery. To properly assess such problems in a real-life ...

Holography relies on the interference between a known reference and a signal of interest to reconstruct both the amplitude and the phase of that signal. With electrons, the extension of holography to the ultrafast time domain remains a challenge, although ...

Homodyne X-ray diffraction signals produced by classical light and classical detectors are given by the modulus square of the charge density in momentum space vertical bar sigma(q)vertical bar(2), missing its phase, which is required in order to invert the ...
