Optical vortex beam generator at nanoscale level
Optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) can find tremendous applications in several fields. In order to apply these particular beams in photonic integrated devices innovative optical elements have been proposed. Here we are interested in the generation of OAM-carrying beams at the nanoscale level. We design and experimentally demonstrate a plasmonic optical vortex emitter, based o...
متن کاملAir – snow exchange of nitrate: a modelling approach to investigate physicochemical processes in surface snow at Dome C, Antarctica
Snowpack is a multiphase (photo)chemical reactor that strongly influences the air composition in polar and snow-covered regions. Snowpack plays a special role in the nitrogen cycle, as it has been shown that nitrate undergoes numerous recycling stages (including photolysis) in the snow before being permanently buried in the ice. However, the current understanding of these physicochemical proces...
متن کاملSnow characterization at a global scale with passive microwave satellite observations
[1] The sensitivity of passive microwave satellite observations to snow characteristics is evaluated, between 19 and 85 GHz, for a winter season, for the Northern Hemisphere. The surface emissivities derived from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager measurements are systematically compared with in situ snow measurements at 2784 stations, in North America and Eurasia. In addition, coincident sate...
متن کاملThe FEL Program at the PEGASUS Injector
The PEGASUS photo injector at UCLA can produce a photo-electron beam with a normalized emittance of 2 mm·mrad at an energy of 12-15 MeV, capable of driving a Free-Electron Laser in the mid IR regime. The FEL program, associated with the PEGASUS injector and presented here, is based on a Self-Amplifying Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL. The studies focus on increasing the efficiency of an FEL by ...
متن کاملirreversibility analysis and numerical simulation in a finned-tube heat exchanger equipped with block shape vortex generator
in this paper the effect of block shape vortex generators (vgs) on an air-water fin-tube heat exchanger has been studied experimentally using exergy analysis method. also the effect of these vgs on increasing heat transfer rate has been simulated numerically and the results show a good agreement with the experiments. in this research we used a wind tunnel to produce wind flow over heat exchange...
