Quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau model for ring fiber lasers
Abstract:
The dynamics of a fiber ring laser mode locked by nonlinear polarization rotation is reduced to a quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGLQ) equation. The coefficients of the equation are explicitly given as functions of the physical parameters of the laser, especially the orientation of the phase plates. Then known results about analytic solutions, stability of pulse-like solutions, and bound states of the CGLQ equation are examined from the point of view of their dependence with regard to the physical parameters.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
