Intrinsic self-rotation of BEC Bloch wave packets
The semiclassical theory of Bloch wave packet dynamics predicts a self-rotation angular momentum in asymmetric periodic potentials, which has never been observed. We show how this is manifested in Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in optical lattices. Displacing the wave packet to a corner of the Brillouin zone we obtain a current distribution with a non-quantized angular momentum, independent of t...
متن کاملNondiffracting accelerating wave packets of Maxwell's equations.
We present the nondiffracting spatially accelerating solutions of the Maxwell equations. Such beams accelerate in a circular trajectory, thus generalizing the concept of Airy beams to the full domain of the wave equation. For both TE and TM polarizations, the beams exhibit shape-preserving bending which can have subwavelength features, and the Poynting vector of the main lobe displays a turn of...
متن کاملDiffraction-grating-based Bloch Surface Wave Refractive Index Sensors
A planar optical sensor consisting of a diffraction grating and a onedimensional photonic crystal based on Bloch surface wave excitation effect is proposed. The obtained results can find application in the design of novel onchip refractive index sensors.
متن کاملDiffraction using laser-driven broadband electron wave packets.
Directly monitoring atomic motion during a molecular transformation with atomic-scale spatio-temporal resolution is a frontier of ultrafast optical science and physical chemistry. Here we provide the foundation for a new imaging method, fixed-angle broadband laser-induced electron scattering, based on structural retrieval by direct one-dimensional Fourier transform of a photoelectron energy dis...
متن کاملMathematik in den Naturwissenschaften Leipzig Diffractive geometric optics for Bloch wave packets
We study, for times of order 1/ε, solutions of wave equations which are O(ε2) modulations of an ε periodic wave equation. The solutions are of slowly varying amplitude type built on Bloch plane waves with wavelength of order ε. We construct accurate approximate solutions of three scale WKB type. The leading profile is both transported at the group velocity and dispersed by a Schrödinger equatio...
