Novel features of electromagnetic waves in an isotropic degenerate electron-ion plasma

Within the framework of kinetic theory, the nonlinear interaction of electromagnetic waves (EMWs) with a degenerate electron-ion plasma is studied to account for the electron quantum mechanical effects. For this purpose, a specific quantum regime is considered, for which the degenerate electron Fermi velocity is assumed to be taken of the order of group velocity of EMWs. This eventually leads to the existence of nonlinear Landau damping rate for the EMWs in the presence of electron Ponderomotive force. The electrons-ion density oscillations may be arisen from the nonlinear interaction of EMWs, leading to a new type of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in terms of a complex amplitude for electromagnetic pump wave. The profiles of nonlinear damping rate reveal that EMWs become less damped for increasing the quantum tunnelling effects. The electrostatic response for the linear electrostatic waves is also investigated and derived a linear dispersion for the ion-acoustic damping rate. The latter is a direct function of electron Fermi speed and does not rely on the Bohm tunneling effect. The obtained results are numerically analyzed for the two microwaves of different harmonics in the context of nonrelativistic astrophysical dense plasma environments, e.g., white dwarfs, where the electron quantum corrections cannot be ignored.

Efficient THz Generation by Nonlinear Interaction of Gaussian Laser Beam With the Anharmonic and Rippled CNTs Aligned Vertically in the Array

We purpose a theoretical analysis for the generation of efficient terahertz (THz) radiation by using the nonlinear interaction of Gaussian laser beam with vertically aligned anharmonic, and rippled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) array. This array of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs) is embedded on the base of the dielectric surface. The VA-CNTs have been magnetized by applying a static magnetic field mutually perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the Gaussian beam and length of CNTs. The Gaussian laser beam passing through the CNTs exerts a nonlinear ponderomotive force on the electrons of CNTs and provides them resonant nonlinear transverse velocity. This produces the nonlinear current which is further responsible for the generation of THz radiation. The anharmonicity plays a vital role in the efficient generation of THz radiation. The anharmonicity arises due to the nonlinear variation of restoration force on the various electrons of CNTs. This anharmonicity in the electrons of CNTs helps in broadening the resonance peak. We have observed that externally applied static magnetic field 110 kg to 330 kg) also paves the way for the enhancement of the normalized THz amplitude.

Localization of Light in Photonics Lattices for All-Optical Representation of Binaries

In this paper we present a novel conceptual method for all optical representation of binary numbers that could be used for all-optical binary logic components in optical digital computing, as well as for other applications. The new concept is based on effect of localization of light in specially designed binary photonics lattices whose central parts resemble the represented binaries, and the localizations occur due to breaking periodicities of the lattices. The proposed structures can be made with integrated photonics on-chip that are highly programmable and controllable. Most significantly, the working principle of the novel method doesn’t require nonlinear interaction between light and material, which is the most serious obstacle in the conventional method that uses optical transistors whose mechanism relies mainly on optical nonlinearity. We will discuss some technical challenges in developing the components.

CONTROL OF WAVE INTERACTION PROCESSES IN PLASMA

The results of processes investigation of nonlinear interaction of wave in plasma were expounded. First of all the mechanisms of the processes control of three frequencies wave interaction were considered. It was shown that using of the whirligig principle allows to point out to conditions of existence of decay processes and to conditions of suppression of decay processes. It was discovered that separated waves with circle polarization do not decay in plasma.
