Nonlinear localized waves in a periodic medium.
We analyze the existence and stability of nonlinear localized waves in a periodic medium described by the Kronig-Penney model with a nonlinear defect. We demonstrate the existence of a novel type of stable nonlinear band-gap localized state, and also reveal a generic physical mechanism of the oscillatory wave instabilities associated with the band-gap resonances.
متن کاملMultiphoton Localization and Propagating Quantum Gap Solitons in a Frequency Gap Medium
The many-particle spectrum of an isotropic frequency gap medium doped with impurity resonance atoms is studied using the Bethe ansatz technique. The spectrum is shown to contain pairs of quantum correlated “gap excitations” and their heavy bound complexes (“gap solitons”), enabling the propagation of quantum information within the classically forbidden gap. In addition, multiparticle localizati...
متن کاملPropagating chemoattractant waves coordinate periodic cell movement in Dictyostelium slugs.
Migration and behaviour of Dictyostelium slugs results from coordinated movement of its constituent cells. It has been proposed that cell movement is controlled by propagating waves of cAMP as during aggregation and in the mound. We report the existence of optical density waves in slugs; they are initiated in the tip and propagate backwards. The waves reflect periodic cell movement and are medi...
متن کاملLocalization of angular momentum in optical waves propagating through turbulence.
This is the first in a series of papers demonstrating that photons with orbital angular momentum can be created in optical waves propagating through distributed turbulence. The scope of this first paper is much narrower. Here, we demonstrate that atmospheric turbulence can impart non-trivial angular momentum to beams and that this non-trivial angular momentum is highly localized. Furthermore, c...
متن کاملHigh Frequency Waves Propagating in Octagonal Bars: a Low Cost Computation Algorithm
In this paper a hybrid semi-analytical Finite Element formulation is proposed to efficiently calculate the time dependent response due to stress waves propagating in a slender solid with uniform cross-section when excited by impulsive forces. The formulation takes advantage of the direct and inverse Fourier transform to formulate and solve the governing wave equation. The framework is applied t...
