Frequency-domain modelling of gain in pump-probe experiment by an inhomogeneous medium

Modelling of Love Waves in Fluid Saturated Porous Viscoelastic Medium resting over an Exponentially Graded Inhomogeneous Half-space Influenced by Gravity

The present article is devoted to a theoretical study on Love wave vibration in a pre-stressed fluid-saturated anisotropic porous viscoelastic medium embedded over an inhomogeneous isotropic half-space influenced by gravity. The expression of dispersion has been achieved with the help of mathematical tools such as variable separable method and Whittaker’s function’s expansion under certain boun...

Theory of pump-probe experiments of metallic metamaterials coupled to a gain medium.

We establish a new approach for pump-probe simulations of metallic metamaterials coupled to the gain materials. It is of vital importance to understand the mechanism of the coupling of metamaterials with the gain medium. Using a four-level gain system, we have studied light amplification of arrays of metallic split-ring resonators with a gain layer underneath. We find that the differential tran...

Casimir stress in an inhomogeneous medium

The Casimir effect in an inhomogeneous dielectric is investigated using Lifshitz’s theory of electromagnetic vacuum energy. A permittivity function that depends continuously on one Cartesian coordinate is chosen, bounded on each side by homogeneous dielectrics. The result for the Casimir stress is infinite everywhere inside the inhomogeneous region, a divergence that does not occur for piece-wi...

Wave Propagation in an Inhomogeneous Medium

Reflected Waves in an Inhomogeneous Excitable Medium

Propagation can be encumbered in an excitable cable in which intrinsic properties change abruptly. A sudden increase in diameter or a decrease in conductivity or excitability can lead to propagation block or delay in propagation with or without reflection. We study such transient phenomena from a geometric point of view. A simple two-cell caricature, with one cell enlarged to mimic diameter inc...
