Photocathodes are a limiting factor for the next generation of ultra-high brightness photoinjector driven accelerators. We studied the behavior of a superconducting Pb cathode in the cryogenic environment of a superconducting RF gun cavity related to the quantum efficiency (QE), its spatial distribution and the work function. The cathode surface contaminations can modify the performance of the ...

We report nonclassical correlations in the light transmitted by a collection of two-level atoms strongly coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field of a driven optical cavity. This cavity QED system can produce bunched light that violates the Schwarz inequality due to the state preparation of the system from the detection of a photon. The correlation function shows oscillations at a ...

We report on a method for characterizing the tuning capabilities of small-bandwidth external-cavity diode lasers. The step response of a piezo-driven Littman-Metcalf external-cavity diode laser and the compensation of its optoelectromechanical frequency response is investigated. When an approximately 50-V compensated Gaussian pulse is applied to the piezo element, a detuning of 13.6 GHz is obse...

Open cavity receivers can be used to efficiently absorb concentrated solar radiation at high temperatures. Using ray-tracing and a stochastic optimisation method, the geometry of such receivers is optimised looking at radiative losses only. Results confirm the major role of the aperture in cavity losses mitigation and highlight the flux distribution variation on geometries with comparable radia...

this paper is a computational study of the behavior of aerodynamics  characteristics of an airfoil with blunt trailing edge and  studies the effects aerodynamic performance caused by modifications made to the trailing edge. blunt trailing edge airfoils are of interest in the engineering of large wind turbine blades because they allow for a strong structure with a high aerodynamic lift to struct...

We propose an enantio-detection method of chiral molecules in a cavity with external drive. The are coupled quantized field and two classical light fields to form the cyclic three-level systems. chirality-dependent cavity-assisted three-photon process systems leads generation intracavity photons. Simultaneously, drive also results chirality-independent Based on interference between photons gene...
