Periodic, quasi-periodic, and random quadratic nonlinear photonic crystals
Quadratic nonlinear photonic crystals are materials in which the second order susceptibility is spatially modulated while the linear susceptibility remains constant. These structures are significantly different than the more common photonic crystals, in which the linear susceptibility is modulated. Nonlinear processes in nonlinear photonic crystals are governed by the phase matching requirement...
متن کاملQuasi-Periodic Crystals—The Long Road from Discovery to Acceptance*
Three surprising discoveries on the nature of matter and its properties were published in the mid-1980s. All these discoveries led to Nobel prizes. The first discovery was in 1985, when fullerenes were discovered by Robert F. Curl Jr, Sir Harold W. Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley. Fullerenes, also known as buckyballs, are spherical molecules composed of carbon atoms. The discovery of fullerenes l...
متن کاملA Redefined Discrete Quasi - Sliding Mode Strategy
Variable structures with sliding mode control (SCM) are one of the best techniques for analyzing the dynamics of nonlinear systems, not only in continuous domain but also in discrete domain. This paper presents a redefined discrete quasi-sliding mode control strategy. The reaching law condition defined in the presently available technique is redefined in this paper. For systems with both time i...
متن کاملSmectic Liquid Crystals: Materials with One-Dimensional, Periodic Order
Abstract. Smectic liquid crystals are materials formed by stacking deformable, fluid layers. Though smectics prefer to have flat, uniformly-spaced layers, boundary conditions can impose curvature on the layers. Since the layer spacing and curvature are intertwined, the problem of finding minimal configurations for the layers becomes highly nontrivial. We discuss various topological and geometri...
متن کاملFinite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures
Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...
