Resonance transmission in a three-level L-type system of the rubidium D1 line is controlled by adjusting the linewidth of the pumping ~coupling! laser. With the change of pumping-laser linewidth from several MHz to about 100 MHz, the absorption reduction degrades from about 70% to less than 15%. The experimentally measured results are in good agreement with a simple theoretical calculation. @S1...

Frequency converters provide means for the energy efficient flow and pressure control in pumping and fan systems by varying the motor speed. Besides speed variation, a modern frequency converter can estimate the state and performance of system operation without additional measurement sensors. This ability provides several possibilities to optimize pumping or fan system operation and the resulti...

We have grown high quality p-type δ-doped InAs quantum dots and have demonstrated coherent spin pumping and repumping of a hole spin in a positively charged quantum dot by means of a single-laser driving scheme under a high magnetic field in the Voigt configuration. Modeling of our system shows excellent qualitative agreement with the experimental findings and further explores the performance o...

We propose the use of spectrally colored rather than white (i.e., incoherent) population pumping in lasing-without-inversion schemes. We show that colored pumping can lead to a significant enhancement in gain by presenting explicit results for the gain in a three-level ladder system. These results are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the coupled density-matrix-equations, which, for a co...

New effects of polarization multistability and polarization hysteresis in a coherently driven polariton system in a semiconductor microcavity are predicted and theoretically analyzed. The multistability arises due to polarization-dependent polariton-polariton interactions and can be revealed in polarization resolved photoluminescence experiments. The pumping power required to observe this effec...

We demonstrate an ion pump, consisting of a nanochannel with an AC driven asymmetric electrode array. Our system enables us to actively pump ions using a low driving voltage. In all experiments the electrical double layers are overlapping. Via viscous coupling ion pumping is accompanied by liquid pumping. Actuation below 500 mV at 10 Hz results in a liquid velocity of ~10 μm/s, corresponding to...

The dynamics of chirped pulse amplification in thin-disk regenerative amplifiers relevant to the pumping of optical parametric chirp pulse amplification systems are described. It is shown that the suitability for reproducible pumping of subsequent nonlinear processes requires a balance between the demands of avoiding chaotic pulse train dynamics and providing a reproducible spectral phase. We d...

We study spontaneous quantum coherence in an out of an equilibrium system, coupled to multiple baths describing pumping and decay. For a range of parameters describing coupling to, and occupation of the baths, a stable steady-state condensed solution exists. The presence of pumping and decay significantly modifies the spectra of phase fluctuations, leading to correlation functions that differ b...

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
