Enhancement and Inhibition of Stimulated Processes in a Negative Index Cavity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study second harmonic generation in a negative index material cavity. The transmission spectrum shows a gap between the electric and magnetic plasma frequencies, so that localized and anti-localized states are allowed at the band edges. The process is made efficient by local phase matching conditions between a forward-propagating pump and a backward-propagating second harmonic signal. By simultaneously exciting the cavity with counter-propagating pulses one is able to enhance or inhibit absorption and stimulated processes. The control parameter is the relative phase difference between the two incident pulses which determines the interference properties of the fields inside the cavity.

Background: A number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes. Objective: To investigate the NO modulatory activity of the extracts of several medicinal plants native to Iran including Dracocephalum kotschyi, Linum persicum, Dionysia termeana, Salvia mirzayanii, F...
متن کاملOptical field enhancement factor of Silicon and indium phosphide nano-cavities
Nano cavities based on silicon and indium phosphide materials have been comparedin this study, considering field intensity enhancement factor. The results of FDTD based simulations declare that the Si nano-cavity improves confined optical field about 7.7 times higher than the InP based nano-cavity. The introduced dielectric nano-cavities support resonance wavelength at about λ=1.55 μm.

Abstract Objective: Students with intellectual disability have less adaptation in the school and home environment than normal students, and the behavioral problems of these students are more compared to normal students. Also, these students have defects in executive functions such as attention, inhibition, and active memory, which has a negative effect on their cognitive, behavioral, and ac...
متن کاملMechanism-Based Studies of the Active Site-Directed Inhibition and Activation of Enzyme Transketolase
Derivatives of phenyl-keto butenoic acids have been reported to be inhibitors of pyruvate decarboxylase, (PDC). The inhibition of transketolase, a thiamine requiring enzyme such as PDF, by meta nitrophenyl derivative of 2-oxo-3-butenoic acid (MNPB) is reported here. These studies indicate that the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at the active site. A two-step inhibition was observed, first th...
