In many dynamic systems large vibration amplitudes occur if the operation frequency is near resonance frequency. Also during passage result. order to reduce amplitude of oscillation a suitable excitation can be applied. The force driven single degree freedom harmonic oscillator used analyse reaction system variable analysis starts with mathematical transformation signal in identify influence di...

We consider the excitation of the nuclear transition 229gTh-229mTh near 7.6 eV in singly ionized thorium via an electronic bridge process. The process relies on the excitation of the electron shell by two laser photons whose sum frequency is equal to the nuclear transition frequency. This scheme allows us to determine the nuclear transition frequency with high accuracy. Based on calculations of...

We demonstrate nonlinear excitation of surface plasmons on a gold film by optical four-wave mixing. Two excitation beams of frequencies omega(1) and omega(2) are used in a modified Kretschmann configuration to induce a nonlinear polarization at a frequency of omega(4wm)=2omega(1)-omega(2), which gives rise to surface plasmon excitation at a frequency of omega(4wm). We observe a characteristic p...
