Excitation of the classical electromagnetic field in a cavity containing a thin slab with a time-dependent conductivity

چکیده
An exact infinite set of coupled ordinary differential equations, describing the evolution of the modes of the classical electromagnetic field inside an ideal cavity, containing a thin slab with the time-dependent conductivity σ(t) and dielectric permittivity ε(t), is derived for the dispersion-less media. This problem is analyzed in connection with the attempts to simulate the so called Dynamical Casimir Effect in three-dimensional electromagnetic cavities, containing a thin semiconductor slab, periodically illuminated by strong laser pulses. Therefore it is assumed that functions σ(t) and δε(t) = ε(t) − ε(0) are different from zero during short time intervals (pulses) only. The main goal is to find the conditions, under which the initial nonzero classical field could be amplified after a single pulse (or a series of pulses). Approximate solutions to the dynamical equations are obtained in the cases of “small” and “big” maximal values of the functions σ(t) and δε(t). It is shown, that the single-mode approximation, used in the previous studies, can be justified in the case of “small” perturbations. But the initially excited field mode cannot be amplified in this case, if the laser pulses generate free carriers inside the slab. The amplification could be possible, in principle, for extremely high maximal values of conductivity and the concentration of free carries (the model of “almost ideal conductor”), created inside the slab, under the crucial condition, that the function δε(t) is negative. This result follows from a simple approximate analytical solution, and it is confirmed by exact numerical calculations. However, the evaluations show, that the necessary energy of laser pulses must be, probably, unrealistically high.

Director Structures in a Chiral Nematic Slab: Threshold Field and Pitch Variations
Abstract The liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. The molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. The director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. Then, the dependence of the threshold field on...

In this paper, we propose a theoretical scheme for the generation of non-classical states of the cavity field in a system of a single trapped atom via controlling the Lamb-Dicke parameter. By exploiting the super-operator method, we obtain an analytical expression for the density operator of the system by which we examine the dynamical behaviors of the atomic population inversion, the phase-spa...

In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the ...
متن کاملPhysical Modeling of Steel Delivery during Thin Slab Continuous Casting
A full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (SEN) was constructed. On the basis of the dimensionless Reynolds and Froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. In order to determine the optimum ope...
