Guided waves in a multi-layered optical structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by the study of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a multi-layered optical medium, we prove the existence of two different kinds of homoclinic solutions to the origin in a Schrödinger equation with a nonlinear term. We use a Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem together with a compactness criterion due to Zima. The main results are illustrated with concrete examples of practical interest such as self-focusing nonlinearities of Kerr and non-Kerr type. Mathematics Subject Classification: 34C37, 34C60

The layered structure in exchange flows between two basins (Middle and Southern basins of the Caspian Sea)
Ocean waters often show layered structures especially where exchange flow between two basins occurs. These structures are often attributed to processes such as double.diffusive convection, internal waves, turbulent modulated mixing. In this paper by examining the vertical structures of temperature, salinity and density, of the middle parts of Caspian Sea it is shown that such layered structure ...
متن کاملEffect of Micropolarity on the Propagation of Shear Waves in a Piezoelectric Layered Structure
This paper studies the propagation of shear waves in a composite structure consisting of a piezoelectric layer perfectly bonded over a micropolar elastic half space. The general dispersion equations for the existence of shear waves are obtained analytically in the closed form. Some particular cases have been discussed and in one special case the relation obtained is in agreement with existing r...
متن کاملA Planar, Layered Ultra-wideband Metamaterial Absorber for Microwave Frequencies
In this paper, an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is designed and simulated. The proposed absorber is planar and low profile. It is made of a copper sheet coated with two dielectric layers. Each unit cell of the metamaterial structure is composed of multiple metallic split rings, which are patterned on the top and middle boundaries of the dielectrics. The designed absorber utilizes differe...
متن کاملUltrasonic Plate Waves for Fatigue Crack Detection in Multi-layered Metallic Structures (preprint)
A representative area of concern for fatigue crack growth in aircraft occurs in multi-layered metallic structures. Ultrasonic plate waves are currently being investigated by multiple initiatives to detect these types of flaws with a minimal number of sensors to enable Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Previous work has focused on structures with one or two layers, coupled with modeling of the...
