An alternative method for locking a second-harmonic generation (SHG) cavity on resonance is described and implemented. The usual method, Pound-Drever-Hall locking, is prone to long-term power fluctuations from power variations in the incident laser. When using the second harmonic field for squeezing, these power fluctuations need to be stabilized with an additional control loop (usually a Mach-...

Presence of distributed generation (DG) in distribution systems has significant impacts on the operational characteristics of these systems, also using capacitor for reactive compensation and loss reduction is so common. Injected harmonic currents from nonlinear loads into distribution system distort all of voltages and currents and must be considered when placing the capacitor banks so that th...

The sub-cycle dynamics of electrons driven by strong laser fields is central to the emerging field of attosecond science. We demonstrate how the dynamics can be probed through high-order harmonic generation, where different trajectories leading to the same harmonic order are initiated at different times, thereby probing different field strengths. We find large differences between the trajectori...

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) plays an essential role in many exotic and interesting phenomena in condensed matter physics. In neutral-atom-based quantum simulations, synthetic SOC constitutes a key enabling element. The strength of SOC realized so far is limited by various reasons or constraints. This work reports tunable SOC synthesized with a gradient magnetic field (GMF) for atoms in a harmonic...

A novel structure of a resonator type guided-wave electrooptic intensity modulator is introduced that uses a higher-order harmonic resonant electrode of coupled microstrip lines combined with polarizationreversed structure. The light modulation cancellation caused by the light transit-time effect in the resonant electrode, which is longer than the wavelength of the standing wave, is compensated...

Recently, since single phase loads and dispersed generators become widespread, unbalanced voltage in distribution line become an important problem for voltage management. One of them is that the control of a conventional voltage regulation device become difficult because of the difference of the magnitude of the line voltages, the other one is increase of 3rd harmonic voltages. The authors prop...

The wide range of the singing voice, from below C2 (65 Hz) to above F6 (1397 Hz), requires a number of strategies that can involve different mechanisms of laryngeal vibration and various adjustments of the vocal tract resonances. The adjustments are made because a vocal tract resonance can boost the radiation of a voice harmonic when it falls close to a resonance frequency. Here we report how s...

Piezoelectric-based shunt dampers are developed in recent years because of simplicity in comparison with other methods. In these methods, a part of converted mechanical energy is stored in the internal el...

Due to the unbalanced features of distribution systems, a three-phase harmonic analysis method is essential to accurately analyze the harmonic impact on distribution systems. Moreover, harmonic analysis is the basic tool for harmonic filter design and harmonic resonance mitigation; therefore, the computational performance should also be efficient. An accurate and efficient three-phase harmonic ...

This paper describes an advantageous method for using the capacitor banks in the distribution network, optimally. The aim is to determine the count, location and capacitor values in order to minimize the annual cost resulting from energy losses and capacitor bank’s installation cost. Besides, in the case of having nonlinear loads in the network, by installing capacitors in appropriate locations...
