Experimental Demonstration of Dark‐State Metasurface Laser with Controllable Radiative Coupling

AbstractLasing at the nanoscale using plasmonic nanoparticles offers the prospect of strong field concentration, hence strong light−matter interactions, low lasing thresholds, and ultrafast operation. However plasmonic nanoparticles suffer from high dissipative and radiative losses, the latter being rigidly tied to the shape of the nanoparticles and symmetry of their localized plasmon resonant modes. To overcome this limitation, recent theoretical work proposes using direct lasing into dark surface states to construct lasers that conceptually allow for independent implementation of the lasing state and its coherent radiation output. Here, lasing in dark resonant states of a metasurface laser and controllable coherent outcoupling of radiation with the aid of a tightly coupled, weakly radiative metasurface are demonstrated experimentally. The laser is implemented using a thin, low‐loss dielectric film supporting surface mode‐like dark dielectric bound states and the coupling metasurface is composed of small non‐resonant scatterers that controllably but weakly perturb the dark mode and turn it partially bright. Distinct far‐field signatures that can be observed experimentally for both dark and bright lasing are identified and demonstrated. The scalability of this design, here implemented for lasing in the near‐infrared, enables large‐aperture ultra‐thin coherent light sources with controllable emission from the infrared to the visible.

Pulsating hydromagnetic flow of Au-blood micropolar nanofluid in a channel with Ohmic heating, thermal radiation and heat source/sink

The current work deals with the pulsating flow of Au-blood micropolar nanofluid with the existence of thermal radiation and Joule heating. Micropolar fluid is addressed as blood (base fluid) and Au (gold) as a nanoparticle. The flow has been mathematically modeled, resulting in a delicate system of partial differential equations (PDEs). A perturbation technique is used to convert the PDE system into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are subsequently solved by using the shooting method with the Runge–Kutta fourth-order scheme. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, microrotation, temperature, and heat transfer rate of Au-blood nanofluid are graphically depicted and explored successively. The obtained findings bring out that the velocity of nanofluid decreases over a rise in the coupling parameter, magnetic field, and nanoparticle volume fractions. The temperature is reducing with an increment of radiation parameter, frequency parameter, coupling parameter, magnetic field, and volume fraction of nanoparticles. Further, the results show that the Nusselt number against frequency distribution increasing with the rising values of the Eckert number.

Extreme variability of the tropical tropopause over the Indian monsoon region

The extreme variability of the tropical tropopause may serve as an important factor in understanding the critical conditions of dynamical and radiative coupling between the troposphere and stratosphere. The extreme variability of the cold point tropopause (CPT) temperature (TCPT) and height (HCPT) are examined over a tropical station, Gadanki (13.45° N, 79.2° E), using high-resolution radiosonde data during 2006–2014. We identified the extremely cold, warm, high, and low tropopauses. The extremely cold (warm) tropopause is defined as the TCPT lesser (greater) than the lower (upper) limit of the two standard deviations of its climatological monthly mean. While the extremely high (low) tropopause is defined as the HCPT greater (lesser) than the upper (lower) limit of the two standard deviations of its climatological monthly mean. In total, 161 cases comprising extremely cold (52), warm (30), high (57), and low (22) are observed. The extremely cold (187.2 ± 1.60 K, 17.3 ± 0.52 km), warm (194.2 ± 1.78 K, 16.9 ± 0.89 km), high (191.7 ± 1.78 K, 18.2 ± 0.55 km), and low (191.8 ± 2.11 K, 16.2 ± 0.38 km) tropopauses occur without preference of season. However, these extreme tropopause cases occur independently and show distinct thermal structures. The thermal structures of the extremely cold tropopause cases are often sharper, whereas the extremely warm, high, and low tropopause cases are broader. Water vapor and ozone concentrations are found to be high for the extremely warm tropopause and low for the extremely cold tropopause. Under the shallow convection, extreme temperature profiles, in general, show prominent warming between 8 and 14 km while anomalous cooling (warming) just below (above) the CPT. Plausible mechanisms responsible for extreme tropopause variabilities such as deep convection, equatorial wave propagation, transports of water vapor and ozone, and potential vorticity intrusions are examined.

Real-space nanoimaging of THz polaritons in the topological insulator Bi2Se3

Plasmon polaritons in topological insulators attract attention from a fundamental perspective and for potential THz photonic applications. Although polaritons have been observed by THz far-field spectroscopy on topological insulator microstructures, real-space imaging of propagating THz polaritons has been elusive so far. Here, we show spectroscopic THz near-field images of thin Bi2Se3 layers (prototypical topological insulators) revealing polaritons with up to 12 times increased momenta as compared to photons of the same energy and decay times of about 0.48 ps, yet short propagation lengths. From the images we determine and analyze the polariton dispersion, showing that the polaritons can be explained by the coupling of THz radiation to various combinations of Dirac and massive carriers at the Bi2Se3 surfaces, massive bulk carriers and optical phonons. Our work provides critical insights into the nature of THz polaritons in topological insulators and establishes instrumentation and methodology for imaging of THz polaritons.

Assessing the Joint Impact of Climatic Variables on Meteorological Drought Using Machine Learning

With the intensification of climate change, the coupling effect between climate variables plays an important role in meteorological drought identification. However, little is known about the contribution of climate variables to drought development. This study constructed four scenarios using the random forest model during 1981–2016 in the Luanhe River Basin (LRB) and quantitatively revealed the contribution of climate variables (precipitation; temperature; wind speed; solar radiation; relative humidity; and evaporative demand) to drought indices and drought characteristics, that is, the Standard Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), Standard Precipitation Index (SPI), and Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI). The result showed that the R2 of the model is above 0.88, and the performance of the model is good. The coupling between climate variables can not only amplify drought characteristics but also lead to the SPEI, SPI, and EDDI showing different drought states when identifying drought. With the decrease in timescale, the drought intensity of the three drought indices became stronger and the drought duration shortened, but the drought frequency increased. For short-term drought (1 mon), four scenarios displayed that the SPEI and SPI can identify more drought events. On the contrary, compared with the SPEI and SPI, the EDDI can identify long and serious drought events. This is mainly due to the coupling of evaporative demand, solar radiation, and wind speed. Evaporation demand also contributed to the SPEI, but the contribution (6–13%) was much less than the EDDI (45–85%). For SPEI-1, SPEI-3, and SPEI-6, the effect of temperature cannot be ignored. These results are helpful to understand and describe drought events for drought risk management under the condition of global warming.

Optical conductivity and far-field radiation of silicene

Silicene is a silicon analogue of graphene. From symmetry considerations, we develop the matrix of Hamiltonian, including spin-orbit coupling in silicene. This work analyzes the heat and angular momentum radiation from silicene through the theory of far-field radiation and optical conductivity. We discuss the relation between the radiation and spin-orbit coupling parameters. Our results show the effects of different parameters, such as temperature and sublattice potential, on optical conductivity and radiation of silicene. In particular, the threshold frequency of optical conductivity causes the appearance of the second peak in energy radiation spectrum. We also find that the ratio of the perpendicular electric field to the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling is related to the strength of angular momentum radiation, which may promote the application of silicene.

Uncertainties in Evaluating Global Electric Circuit Interactions With Atmospheric Clouds and Aerosols, and Consequences for Radiation and Dynamics

AbstractObservations and theory relevant to evaluating the importance of the effect of Ionosphere‐Earth current density, JZ, in the global electric circuit on cloud microphysics and cloud opacity at high latitudes, with presumed consequences for surface pressure, are reviewed and updated. The day‐to‐day input variations are less than 10% of their mean values, as are the reported cloud and pressure effects, but could be indicative of more important longer‐term effects, and of neglected processes in aerosol‐cloud interactions. There is consistent evidence for responses to both externally (solar‐wind) and internally (thunderstorm and shower‐cloud) generated changes in JZ and cloud opacity. The pressure correlations show non‐stationary behavior, with changes in phase relative to that of the solar wind input and JZ variations on interdecadal timescales. These might be due to the non‐stationary nature of the solar wind, and non‐stationary aerosol populations. For modeling the cloud effects there are considerable uncertainties in the size and charge distributions of aerosol particles, droplets, and ice particles. The cloud radiative coupling with periodic solar wind inputs may nudge internal tropospheric waves into phase coherence at times when the amplitude of the solar input and the duration of the input trains exceed minimum values.

Proof-of-concept of a miniature pressure sensor based on coupled optical WGMs excited in a dielectric microsphere

Optical whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators retain increased interest as a key element in various high-resolution sensing and spectroscopic devices in modern optoelectronic, optofluidic and Lab-on-chip technologies. As a theoretical proof-of-concept, we present a new miniature pressure sensor based on coupled WGMs optically excited in a dielectric microsphere placed near a flexible reflective membrane which acts as an ambient pressure sensing element. WGMs are excited by free-space coupling of incoming optical radiation to a spherical microparticle. The distinctive feature of proposed sensor is double WGM excitation by forward and backward propagating radiation upon reflection from a membrane that causes WGMs interference in particle volume. Unlike known WGM-sensors, the proposed design utilize not the resonant frequency shift but the changes in optical intensity of resulting field established in the microsphere which carries information about the exact position of pressure-loaded membrane. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor strongly depends on the quality factor of the working resonance, as well as geometrical and mechanical parameters of flexible reflecting membrane. Important advantages of the proposed sensor are its miniature design and the absence of a mechanical contact of pressure-sensitive element with WGM resonator.

Nonlinear Thomson scattering radiation characteristics in tightly focused linearly polarized laser pulses with different pulse widths

In our work, the radiation characteristics of the pulse width for nonlinear Thomson scattering produced by the interaction of a linearly polarized tightly focused laser with a stationary electron are investigated. Theoretical derivation without approximation and numerical simulation results reveal that long pulses imply more complex electrodynamic processes. Radiation bifurcation and coupling phenomena caused by increasing pulse width are found. The radiation energy in the direction of maximum radiation also decreases with the increase of the pulse width. For the first time, the acceleration changes and γ value changes of electron motion caused by linearly polarized laser pulses are shown, and these changes are combined to explain the changes of radiation. At the same time, the full-spatial angular distribution of nonlinear Thomson scattering induced by linearly polarized light was plotted for the first time, and the existence and variation of the radiation angular width were found.

Extremely Narrow and Actively Tunable Mie Surface Lattice Resonances in GeSbTe Metasurfaces: Study.

Mie surface lattice resonances (SLRs) supported by periodic all-dielectric nanoparticles emerge from the radiative coupling of localized Mie resonances in individual nanoparticles through Rayleigh anomaly diffraction. To date, it remains challenging to achieve narrow bandwidth and active tuning simultaneously. In this work, we report extremely narrow and actively tunable electric dipole SLRs (ED-SLRs) in Ge2Se2Te5 (GST) metasurfaces. Simulation results show that, under oblique incidence with TE polarization, ED-SLRs with extremely narrow linewidth down to 12 nm and high quality factor up to 409 can be excited in the mid-infrared regime. By varying the incidence angle, the ED-SLR can be tuned over an extremely large spectral region covering almost the entire mid-infrared regime. We further numerically show that, by changing the GST crystalline fraction, the ED-SLR can be actively tuned, leading to nonvolatile, reconfigurable, and narrowband filtering, all-optical multilevel modulation, or all-optical switching with high performance. We expect that this work will advance the engineering of Mie SLRs and will find intriguing applications in optical telecommunication, networks, and microsystems.

Numerical study of pulsatile non-Newtonian blood flow and heat transfer in small vessels under a magnetic field

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of magnetic field on the unsteady blood flow pass a small vessel with a pulsatile pressure gradient by treating blood as a non-Newtonian fluid, which can be described by Maxwell fluid model with fractional derivative. Also the heat transfer characteristics of the flow arising out of radiative heat flux, viscous dissipation, and electromagnetic coupling is considered. We developed a finite difference algorithm to derive the numerical solutions of the nonlinear and coupled governing equations of velocity and temperature. The stability and convergence of the numerical algorithm are tested, and it is found to be stable and convergent. The influence of various significant dynamics parameters on velocity, flow rate and temperature are deeply discussed. It is indicated that, compared with the fractional Maxwell fluid model, Newtonian fluid dynamics underestimate the velocity and temperature of blood. Applying a magnetic field or increasing thermal radiation is conducive to give a higher temperature, but they have the opposite effect on velocity and flow rate, that is, the imposed magnetic field leads to a decrease of flow rate, while on the contrary, thermal radiation will enhance the flow rate.

A Millimeter-Wave Tri-Modal Patch Antenna

This letter presents a millimeter-wave (mmWave) tri-modal patch antenna with a size of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.46\,\lambda _{0}\times 0.46\,\lambda _{0}\times 0.11\,\lambda _{0}$</tex-math></inline-formula> , in which <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _{0}$</tex-math></inline-formula> is the wavelength in air at the center frequency. It is the first example of a tri-modal patch antenna in the mmWave frequency range. Compared to previous sub-6 GHz tri-modal patches, special approaches to handle the three port excitation at mmWave are required. The radiation performance with various feeding structures, fabrication approaches, and the challenges of designing tri-modal patch antennas in mmWave bands are detailed. The advantage of utilizing the tri-modal patch concept is that with proper excitation, a compact three-port antenna can be designed to exhibit broadside radiation and low mutual coupling within a single element. Experimental results demonstrate a three-port antenna operating at 26 GHz with an impedance bandwidth and realized gain of 5.4% and 5.0 dBi, respectively, which is suitable for use as a unit cell in mmWave massive multiple-input--multiple-output (MIMO) antenna applications.

Surface profile-tailored magneto-optics in magnetoplasmonic crystals

The control of transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) enhancement is realized by balancing the radiative and absorption losses in one-dimensional all-nickel magnetoplasmonic crystals. The modulation of the surface shape tunes the plasmonic radiative losses and coupling of the incident light with surface plasmons. The maximal magneto-optical response corresponds to the optimal coupling implemented with the equality of radiative and absorption losses. A slight deviation from the optimal corrugation depth results in a significant reduction of the TMOKE value.

Stochastic radiative transfer in random media. II. Coupling of radiation to material.

We study the mechanism of the impact of random media on the stochastic radiation transport based on a one-dimensional (1D) planar model. To this end, we use a random sampling of mixtures combined with a deterministic solution of the time-dependent radiation transport equationcoupled to a material temperature equation. Compared to purely absorbing cases [C.-Z. Gao etal., Phys. Rev. E 102, 022111 (2020)10.1103/PhysRevE.102.022111], we find that material temperatures can significantly suppress the impact of mixing distribution and size, which is understood from the analysis of energy transport channels. By developing a steady-state stochastic transport model, it is found that the mechanism of transmission of radiation is distance dependent, which is closely related to the mean free path of photons l_{p}. Furthermore, we suggest that it is the relationship between l_{p} and L (the width of random medium) that determines the impact of random media on the stochastic radiation transport, which is further corroborated by additional simulations. Most importantly, combining the proposed simple relationship and 1D simulations, we resolve the existing disputable issue of the impact of random media in previous multidimensional works, showing that multidimensional results are essentially consistent and the observed weak or remarkable impact of random media is mainly due to the distinctly different relationship between l_{p} and L. Our results may have practical implications in relevant experiments of stochastic radiative transfer.

Hence, it is difficult to reasonably evaluate the ecological impacts of CEBs development in the sustainable and coordinated development and scientific management of CEBs. In response to this, this paper attempted to intensively study the driving behavior, internal structure, primary relationship, ecological influence path, ecological cumulative process and ecological cumulative effect and threshold analysis method of the large-scale coal and electricity base ecosystems (CEBES) through associating the development of CEBs with NES (natural ecology system) as systems engineering. The concept, connotation, and characteristics of CEBs were proposed in accordance with spatial and functional positioning of the CEBs. Then, the amalgamation constructing CEBES were comprised of natural resources, energy development behavior (coal, and electricity, etc.), other human activities (agriculture, animal husbandry, and urban activities), atmosphere, water, soil, and ecosphere. According to the research, the ecological accumulation state of CEBES was driven and influenced by three behaviors, including natural behaviors, energy development behaviors, and other human activities. These three behaviors were manifested as damages to ecological elements, changed in system structure, and imbalance of system state through integration, conduction, and radiation coupling. More precisely, ecological cumulation had the characteristics of affecting polymorphism, spatial multi-scale, and process gradual change. Moreover, by defining the ecological cumulation process, the cumulative effect, thresholds and their mutual relations, ecological damage coefficients were introduced to reflect the cumulative degree of ecological influence. Based on this, four ecological thresholds, including ecological elements, internal structure, system state, and behavior regulation were proposed. Furthermore, an ecological accumulation state indicator system and ecologic comprehensive influencing indexes featuring the drive of "three powers", zoning element coupling, and system evaluation were constructed as 60 indicators screened from the systematic and practical properties for showing the relative status of ecological cumulation. Also, core functions of ecological cumulative state based on unit space body, ecological elements, and ecological cumulative functions of subsystems and systems were constructed. Meanwhile, the analysis models of ecological damage degree and ecological effect threshold as well as the impact analysis method of ecological cumulation of CEBs development were based on the coupling relationship of multi-level ecological damage. The proposed method can provide a theoretical support for ecological impact assessment, ecological security regulation in the developing areas of CEBs,as well as for the development of carbon neutral in China. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Subwave textured surfaces for the radiation coupling from the waveguide

The paper presents a procedure for creating on GaAs(100) substrates textured surfaces by ion-beam etching with a focused beam. The possibility of flexibly controlling the shape and profile of the formed submicron elements of textured media is shown; this will later allow formation of textured surfaces of almost any complexity for realizing the surface radiation coupling from the waveguide. Original lithographic masks were developed, and 3D lithography was accomplished. The obtained lithographic patterns were controlled by the methods of optical, electron and atomic force microscopy. Keywords: ion-beam etching, metasurface, textured surface, lithography, surface coupling of radiation.

Vacuum stability with radiative Yukawa couplings

We explore the electroweak vacuum stability in the framework of a recently proposed paradigm for the origin of Yukawa couplings. These arise as low energy effective couplings radiatively generated by portal interactions with a hidden, or dark, sector at the one-loop level. Possible tree-level Yukawa couplings are forbidden by a new underlying symmetry, assumed to be spontaneously broken by the vacuum expectation value of a new scalar field above the electroweak scale. As a consequence, the top Yukawa interaction ceases to behave as a local operator at energies above the new sector scale and, therefore, cannot contribute to the running of the quartic Higgs coupling at higher energies. By studying two complementary scenarios, we explicitly show that the framework can achieve the stability of the electroweak vacuum without particular tuning of parameters. The proposed mechanism requires the existence of a dark sector and new portal messenger scalar interactions that, connecting the Standard Model to the dark sector fields, could be tested at the LHC and future collider experiments.

Lattice-plasmon-induced asymmetric transmission in two-dimensional chiral arrays

Asymmetric transmission—direction-selective electromagnetic transmission between two ports—is a phenomenon exhibited by two-dimensional chiral systems. The possibility of exploiting this phenomenon in chiral metasurfaces opens exciting possibilities for applications such as optical isolation and routing without external magnetic fields. This work investigates optical asymmetric transmission in chiral plasmonic metasurfaces supporting lattice plasmon modes and unveils its physical origins. We show numerically and experimentally that asymmetric transmission is caused by an unbalanced excitation of such lattice modes by circularly polarized light of opposite handedness. The excitation efficiencies of the lattice modes, and hence, the strength of the asymmetric transmission, are controlled by engineering the in-plane scattering of the individual plasmonic nanoparticles such that the maximum scattering imbalance occurs along one of the in-plane diffraction orders of the metasurface. Furthermore, we show that only the nonzero diffraction orders contribute to this effect. By highlighting the role of the localized plasmon modes supported by the nanoparticle and their radiative coupling to the lattice structure, our study provides a guideline for designing metasurfaces with asymmetric transmission enabled by lattice plasmons.

Bound Photonic Pairs in 2D Waveguide Quantum Electrodynamics.

We theoretically predict the formation of two-photon bound states in a two-dimensional waveguide network hosting a lattice of two-level atoms. The properties of these bound pairs and the exclusive domains of the parameter space where they emerge due to the interplay between the on-site photon blockade and peculiar shape of polariton dispersion resulting from the long-range radiative couplings between the qubits are investigated in detail. In addition, we analyze the effect of the finite-size system on localization characteristics of these excitations.

In Vivo Absolute Metabolite Quantification Using a Multiplexed ERETIC-RX Array Coil for Whole-Brain MR Spectroscopic Imaging.

Absolute quantification of metabolites in MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) requires a stable reference signal of known concentration. The Electronic REference To access In vivo Concentrations (ERETIC) has shown great promise but has not been applied in patients and 3D MRSI. ERETIC hardware has not been integrated with receive arrays due to technical challenges, such as coil combination and unwanted coupling between multiple ERETIC and receive channels, for which we developed mitigation strategies. To develop absolute quantification for whole-brain MRSI in glioma patients. Prospective. Five healthy volunteers and three patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant glioma (27% female). Calibration and coil loading phantoms. A 3 T; Adiabatic spin-echo spiral 3D MRSI with real-time motion correction, Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR), Gradient Recalled Echo (GRE), Multi-echo Magnetization Prepared Rapid Acquisition of Gradient Echo (MEMPRAGE). Absolute quantification was performed for five brain metabolites (total N-acetyl-aspartate [NAA]/creatine/choline, glutamine + glutamate, myo-inositol) and the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate using a custom-built 4x-ERETIC/8x-receive array coil. Metabolite quantification was performed with both EREIC and internal water reference methods. ERETIC signal was transmitted via optical link and used to correct coil loading. Inductive and radiative coupling between ERETIC and receive channels were measured. ERETIC and internal water methods for metabolite quantification were compared using Bland-Altman (BA) analysis and the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. ERETIC could be integrated in receive arrays and inductive coupling dominated (5-886 times) radiative coupling. Phantoms show proportional scaling of the ERETIC signal with coil loading. The BA analysis demonstrated very good agreement (3.3% ± 1.6%) in healthy volunteers, while there was a large difference (36.1% ± 3.8%) in glioma tumors between metabolite concentrations by ERETIC and internal water quantification. Our results indicate that ERETIC integrated with receive arrays and whole-brain MRSI is feasible for brain metabolites quantification. Further validation is required to probe that ERETIC provides more accurate metabolite concentration in glioma patients. 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
