Observation of spatial fluctuations of the local density of states in random photonic media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We experimentally study spatial fluctuations of the local density of states (LDOS) inside three-dimensional random photonic media. The LDOS is probed at many positions inside random photonic media by measuring emission rates of a large number of individual fluorescent nanospheres. The emission rates are observed to fluctuate spatially, and the variance of the fluctuations increases with the scattering strength. The measured variance of the emission rates agrees well with a model that takes into account the effect of the nearest scatterer only.

Characteristics of the Temporal Behavior of Entanglement between Photonic Binomial Distributions and a Two-Level Atom in a Damping Cavity
In the present study, temporal behavior of entanglement between photonic binomial distributions and a two-level atom in a leaky cavity, in equilibrium with the environment at a temperature T, is studied. In this regard, the master equation is solved in the secular approximation for the density matrix, when the initial photonic distribution is binomial, while the atomic states obey the Boltzmann...
متن کاملHyperuniformity in point patterns and two-phase random heterogeneous media
Hyperuniform point patterns are characterized by vanishing infinitewavelength density fluctuations and encompass all crystal structures, certain quasiperiodic systems, and special disordered point patterns (Torquato and Stillinger 2003 Phys. Rev. E 68 041113). This paper generalizes the notion of hyperuniformity to include also two-phase random heterogeneous media. Hyperuniform random media do ...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...
متن کاملApplication of Geostatistical Methods to Estimate Groundwater Level Fluctuations
Keeping the water table at a favorable level is quite significant for a sustainable management of groundwater plans. Various management measures need to know the spatial and temporal behavior of groundwater. Therefore, the measurement of groundwater levels are generally carried out at spatially random locations in the field; whereas, most of the groundwater models requires these measurement at ...
متن کاملThe transition energy and the beaming angle of converted LO-mode waves from 100 to 400 kHz through density gradient according to observations of kilometric continuum radiations in the plasmapause
The satellite observations such as the Cluster mission with four-point measurements show some local fluctuations in the density gradient in the vicinity of the plasmapause. These structures are found over a broad range of spatial scales, with a size from 20 to 5000 km. Also, the simultaneous observations of the kilometric continuum by IMAGE (Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration)...
