چکیده
GEANT4 is an effective and comprehensive tool capable of realistically modeling the optics of scintillation and Cerenkov detectors and their associated light guides. This is founded on GEANT4’s unique capacity of commencing the simulation with the propagation of a charged particle and completing it with the detection of the ensuing optical photons on photo sensitive areas, all within the same event loop.

Comparison of ScintSim1 and Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation codes for optical photon transport in thick segmented scintillator arrays
Introduction: Arrays of segmented scintillation crystals are useful in megavoltage x-ray imaging detectors for image-guided radiotherapy. Most previous theoretical studies on these detectors have modelled only ionizing-radiation transport. Scintillation light also affects detector performance. ScintSim1, our previously reported optical Monte Carlo code for such detector...
متن کاملAmplification of photon echo signals by use of a fiber amplifier.
The efficiency of photon-echo processes typically lies in the 0.1-1% range. For many photon-echo-based applications suggested in optical storage and all-optical communication the photon-echo output pulses would need to be used as input data to a new photon-echo process. In such cases amplification of the photon-echo output signals would be necessary for an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio to be...
متن کاملEnhanced quantum nonlinearities in a two-mode optomechanical system.
In cavity optomechanics, nanomechanical motion couples to a localized optical mode. The regime of single-photon strong coupling is reached when the optical shift induced by a single phonon becomes comparable to the cavity linewidth. We consider a setup in this regime comprising two optical modes and one mechanical mode. For mechanical frequencies nearly resonant to the optical level splitting, ...
متن کاملA unified description of sum frequency generation, parametric down conversion and two-photon fluorescence.
A superoperator non-equilibrium Green's function formalism is presented for computing nonlinear optical processes involving any combination of classical and quantum optical modes. Closed correlation-function expressions based on superoperator time-ordering are derived for the combined effects of causal response and non-causal spontaneous fluctuations. Coherent three wave mixing (sum frequency g...
متن کاملAnderson localization of surface plasmons and nonlinear optics of metal-dielectric composites
A scaling theory of local-field fluctuations and optical nonlinearities is developed for random metaldielectric composites near a percolation threshold. The theory predicts that in the optical and infrared spectral ranges the local fields are very inhomogeneous and consist of sharp peaks representing localized surface plasmons. The localization maps the Anderson localization problem described b...
