We study theoretically the interaction of phonons with surface vibrational modes in a finite-size superlattice with a free surface. A phonon incident normally on the superlattice from a substrate is perfectly reflected, i.e., the reflection rate is unity irrespective of frequency. However, it comes back to the substrate with a large time delay when the frequency coincides with an eigenfrequency of the surface mode. This result is attributable to the resonant interaction of incident phonons with a vibrational mode localized near the surface. Acoustic vibrations in superlattices ~SL’s! with various We can formulate the reflection of phonons in the present stacking order, such as periodic, quasiperiodic, and random system as a stationary scattering problem in one superlattices have been investigated extensively during the dimension.10,11 We adopt a continuum model and consider last decade.1–11 The SL’s actually grown are not ideal and the phonon propagation normal to the layer interfaces.

In other words, the reflection rate in this system is unity for the whole frequency range. Thus, one may naively think that it is impossible to observe evidence of surface vibrations by a phonon reflection experiment. How- ever, this is not the case. Although the magnitude of the reflection amplitude does not give us any information on the surface mode, its phase contains important information on the interaction with the surface vibrations, which is basically accessible in a phonon reflection experiment. This is because the time needed for a phonon to complete the reflection pro- cess is given by the derivative of this phase with respect to FIG. 1.

Yeung Professor Philip S. Marcus Professor Per-Olof Persson Spring 2016 Abstract Resonant Interactions of Surface and Internal Waves with Seabed Topography by Louis-Alexandre Couston Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Mohammad-Reza Alam, Chair This dissertation provides a fundamental understanding of water-wave transformations over seabed corrugations in the homogeneous as well as in the stratified ocean. Contrary to a flat or mildly sloped seabed, over which water waves can travel long distances undisturbed, a seabed with small periodic variations can strongly affect the propagation of water waves due to resonant wave-seabed interactions{a phenomenon with many potential applications. Here, we investigate theoretically and with direct simulations several new types of wave transformations within the context of inviscid fluid theory, which are different than the classical wave Bragg reflection. Specifically, we show that surface waves traveling over seabed corrugations can become trapped and amplified, or deflected at a large angle (∼ 90◦) relative to the incident direction of propagation. Wave trapping is obtained between two sets of parallel corrugations, and we demonstrate that the amplification mechanism is akin to the Fabry-Perot resonance of light waves in optics. Wave deflection requires three-dimensional and bi-chromatic corrugations and is obtained when the surface and corrugation wavenumber vectors satisfy a newly found class I2 Bragg resonance condition.

Utilizing pulsed laser light to excite a co-localized optical mode of the nanobeam cavity, we measure the dynamics of cavity acoustic modes with single-phonon sensitivity. Energy ringdown measurements for the fundamental 5 GHz acoustic mode of the cavity shows an exponential increase in phonon lifetime versus number of periods in the phononic bandgap shield, increasing up to τph;0 ≈ 1:5 seconds. This ultralong lifetime, corresponding to an effective phonon propagation length of several kilometers, is found to be consistent with damping from non-resonant two-level system defects on the surface of the silicon device. Potential applications of these ultra- coherent nanoscale mechanical resonators range from tests of various collapse models of quantum mechanics to miniature quantum memory elements in hybrid superconducting quantum circuits.

  • The Coherent Interaction Between Matter and Radiation

Abstract. The Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model is a milestone in the the- ory of coherent interaction between a two-level system and a single bosonic field mode. This tutorial aims to give a complete description of the model, analyzing the Hamiltonian of the system, its eigenvalues and eigestates, in order to characterize the dynamics of system and sub- systems. The Rabi oscillations, together with the collapse and revival effects, are distinguishing features of the JC model and are important for applications in Quantum Information theory. The framework of cav- ity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) is chosen and two fundamental experiments on the coherent interaction between Rydberg atoms and a single cavity field mode are described. 1 Introduction The JC model was originally proposed in 1963 by Edwin Jaynes and Fred Cummings [1] in order to study the relationship between the quantum theory of radiation and the semi-classical theory in describing the phenomenon of spontaneous emission. In the semi-classical theory of atom-field interaction, the field is treated as a definite function of time rather than as an operator, whereas the atom is quantized. The semi-classical theory can explain many phenomena that are observed in modern optics, for example the existence of Rabi cycles in atomic excitation probabilities for radiation fields with sharply defined energy (narrow bandwidth).

  • Revisiting the Generation of Internal Waves by Resonant Interaction with Surface Waves
    AUGUST 2016 O L B E R S A N D E D E N 2335 Revisiting the Generation of Internal Waves by Resonant Interaction with Surface Waves DIRK OLBERS Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany CARSTEN EDEN Institut fur€ Meereskunde, Universitat€ Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany (Manuscript received 1 April 2015, in final form 29 December 2015) ABSTRACT Two surface waves can interact to produce an internal gravity wave by nonlinear resonant coupling. The process has been called spontaneous creation (SC) because it operates without internal waves being initially present. Previous studies have shown that the generated internal waves have high frequency close to the local Brunt–Väisälä frequency and wavelengths that are much larger than those of the participating surface waves, and that the spectral transfer rate of energy to the internal wave field is small compared to other generation processes. The aim of the present analysis is to provide a global map of the energy transfer into the internal 2 wave field by surface–internal wave interaction, which is found to be about 10 3 TW in total, based on a realistic wind-sea spectrum (depending on wind speed), mixed layer depths, and stratification below the mixed layer taken from a state-of-the-art numerical ocean model. Unlike previous calculations of the spectral transfer rate based on a vertical mode decomposition, the authors use an analytical framework that directly derives the energy flux of generated internal waves radiating downward from the mixed layer base. Since the radiated waves are of high frequency, they are trapped and dissipated in the upper ocean.

Abstract: Nonlinear dynamics of an optical pulse or a beam continue to be one of the active areas of research in the field of optical solitons. Especially, in multi-mode fibers or fiber arrays and photorefractive materials, the vector solitons display rich nonlinear phenomena. Due to their fascinating and intriguing novel properties, the theory of optical vector solitons has been developed considerably both from theoretical and experimental points of view leading to soliton based promising potential applications. Mathematically, the dynamics of vector solitons can be understood from the framework of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) family of equations. In the recent past, many types of vector solitons have been identified both in the integrable and non-integrable CNLS framework. In this article, we review some of the recent progress in understanding the dynamics of the so called nondegenerate vector bright solitons in nonlinear optics, where the fundamental soliton can have more than one propagation constant. We address this theme by considering the integrable two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger family of equations, namely Manakov system, mixed 2-CNLS system (or focusing-defocusing CNLS system), coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CCNLS) system, generalized coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (GCNLS) system and two-component long-wave short-wave resonance interaction (LSRI) system.

  • Fast and Slow Resonant Triads in the Two Layer Rotating Shallow Water Equations
    This draft was prepared using the LaTeX style file belonging to the Journal of Fluid Mechanics 1 Fast and slow resonant triads in the two layer rotating shallow water equations Alex Owen1y, Roger Grimshaw1 and Beth Wingate 1 1College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter, North Park Road, Exeter EX4 4QF, UK (Received xx; revised xx; accepted xx) In this paper we examine triad resonances in a rotating shallow water system when there are two free interfaces. This allows for an examination in a relatively simple model of the interplay between baroclinic and barotropic dynamics in a context where there is also a geostrophic mode. In contrast to the much-studied one-layer rotating shallow water system, we find that as well as the usual slow geostrophic mode, there are now two fast waves, a barotropic mode and a baroclinic mode. This feature permits triad resonances to occur between three fast waves, with a mixture of barotropic and baroclinic modes, an aspect which cannot occur in the one-layer system. There are now also two branches of the slow geostrophic mode with a repeated branch of the dispersion relation. The consequences are explored in a derivation of the full set of triad interaction equations, using a multi-scale asymptotic expansion based on a small amplitude parameter. The derived nonlinear interaction coefficients are confirmed using energy and enstrophy conservation. These triad interaction equations are explored with an emphasis on the parameter regime with small Rossby and Froude numbers.

The RRM proposes that biological processes/interactions are based on electromagnetic resonances between interacting biomolecules at specific electromagnetic frequencies within the infra-red, visible and ultra-violet frequency ranges, where each interaction can be identified by the certain frequency critical for resonant activation of specific biological activities of proteins and DNA. We found that: (1) the various biological interactions could be grouped according to their resonant frequency into super families of these functions, enabling simpler analyses of these interactions and consequently analyses of influence of electromagnetic frequencies to health; (2) the RRM spectrum of all analyzed biological functions/interactions is the same as the spectrum of the sun light on the Earth, which is in accordance with fact that life is sustained by the sun light; (3) the water is transparent to RRM frequencies, enabling proteins and DNA to interact without loss of energy; (4) the spectrum of some artificial sources of light, as opposed to the sun light, do not cover the whole RRM spectrum, causing concerns for disturbance to some biological functions and consequently we speculate that it can influence health.
