A bird’s-eye view of nonlinear-optical processes: unification through scale invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
The Schrödinger equation has the property that when changing the length scale by ~r → ǫ~r and the energy scale by E → E/ǫ, the shape of the wavefunction remains unchanged. The same re-scaling leaves the intrinsic hyperpolarizability (as well as higher-order hyperpolarizabilities) unchanged. As such, the intrinsic hyperpolarizability is the best quantity for comparing molecules since it re-normalizes for trivial differences that are due to molecular size and energy gap. Similarly, the intrinsic hyperpolarizability is invariant to changes in the number of electrons. In this paper, we review the concept of scale invariance and how it can be applied to better understand the nonlinear optical response, which can be used to develop new paradigms for it’s optimization.

متن کاملVisual Odometry Based on Omnidirectional Images
We propose a method for visual odometry using optical flow with a single omnidirectional (catadioptric) camera. We show how omnidirectional images can be used to perform optical flow, discussing the basis of optical flow and some restrictions needed to it and how unwarp these images. In special we describe how to unwarp omnidirectional images to Bird’s eye view, that correspond to scaled orthog...

This paper describes new vision-based registration methods utilizing not only cameras on a user’s head-mounted display but also a bird’s-eye view camera that observes the user from an objective viewpoint. Two new methods, the Line Constraint Method (LCM) and Global Error Minimization Method (GEM), are proposed. The former method reduces the number of unknown parameters concerning the user’s vie...
متن کاملDeformation of crystals: Connections with statistical physics
We give a bird’s-eye view of the plastic deformation of crystals aimed at the statistical physics community, and a broad introduction into the statistical theories of forced rigid systems aimed at the plasticity community. Memory effects in magnets, spin glasses, charge density waves, and dilute colloidal suspensions are discussed in relation to the onset of plastic yielding in crystals. Disloc...
