Short- and long-range impurity-induced polar ordering in Sr1-xCaxTiO3 (x = 0.014) single crystals was investigated and discussed on the basis of light refraction, morphic birefringence and temperature-dependent dielectric hysteresis loop measurements. Anew ...
The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular foundation in soft, living, and three-dimensional systems, we developed a tabl ...
Using a surface integral equation approach based on the tangential Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai formulation, we present a full wave analysis of the resonant modes of 3D plasmonic nanostructures. This method, combined with the evaluation of second ...
The interfacial region of aqueous systems also known as the electrical double layer can be characterized on the molecular level with second harmonic and sum-frequency generation (SHG/SFG). SHG and SFG are surface specific methods for isotropic liquids. Her ...
econd-harmonic scattering experiments of water and other bulk molecular liquids have long been assumed to be insensitive to interactions between the molecules. The measured intensity is generally thought to arise from incoherent scattering due to individua ...
In the present study, the response of model trailing vortices subjected to a harmonic forcing is studied. To this purpose, a globally stable non-parallel Batchelor vortex is considered as the baseflow. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) show that a large v ...
Aqueous interfaces are omnipresent in nature. Nonlinear optical methods such as second harmonic and sum frequency generation (SHG/SFG) are valuable techniques to access molecular level information from these interfaces. In the interpretation of SHG and SFG ...
We experimentally observe widely tunable mid-IR femtosecond pulses by resonant radiation, generated by direct three-wave-mixing from a soliton in PPLN. The poling pitch gives a parametrically tunable resonant radiation, a feature absent in Kerr media. ...
Compared with other imaging probes such as fluorescent dyes and quantum dots, second-harmonic radiating imaging probes (SHRIMPs) provide a unique ultrafast, coherent optical contrast that is free of photobleaching and emission intermittency. Using the seco ...
In this article, the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from gold split-ring resonators is investigated using different theoretical methods, namely, Miller's rule, the nonlinear effective susceptibility method, and full-wave computation based on a surface in ...
