Bewley Lattice Diagram

Bewley Lattice Diagram

The Bewley lattice diagram, developed by L. V. Bewley, effectively organizes the reflections occurring during transmission-line transients. It visually represents how voltage waves propagate and reflect within a transmission line, making it easier to understand the complex interactions that occur.

First Law: Particles in Two-dimensional Equilibrium

First Law: Particles in Two-dimensional Equilibrium

Recall that a particle in equilibrium is one for which the external forces are balanced. Static equilibrium involves objects at rest, and dynamic equilibrium involves objects in motion without acceleration; but it is important to remember that these conditions are relative. For instance, an object may be at rest when viewed from one frame of reference, but that same object would appear to be in motion when viewed by someone moving at a constant velocity.
Newton's first law tells us about the...

Gauss's Law: Planar Symmetry

Gauss's Law: Planar Symmetry

A planar symmetry of charge density is obtained when charges are uniformly spread over a large flat surface. In planar symmetry, all points in a plane parallel to the plane of charge are identical with respect to the charges. Suppose the plane of the charge distribution is the xy-plane, and the electric field at a space point P with coordinates (x, y, z) is to be determined. Since the charge density is the same at all (x, y) - coordinates in the z = 0 plane, by symmetry, the electric field at P...

Standing Waves in a Cavity

Standing Waves in a Cavity

A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

The de Broglie Wavelength

The de Broglie Wavelength

In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Background:

Photorefractive crystals are key materials for nonlinear optical applications.
Understanding self-trapped nonlinear waves is crucial for optical signal processing and beam control.

Purpose of the Study:

To theoretically predict and experimentally generate two-dimensional (2D) self-trapped periodic waves in photorefractive crystals.
To investigate the existence and properties of these waves under anisotropic nonlocal nonlinearity.
To explore the influence of lattice orientation on wave behavior.

Main Methods:

Main Results:

Successfully predicted and generated 2D self-trapped periodic waves with various symmetries.
Demonstrated the existence of these nonlinear waves even with anisotropic nonlocal nonlinearity.
Observed that the anisotropic refractive index depends on the lattice orientation relative to the crystallographic c-axis.

Conclusions:

2D self-trapped periodic waves, including vortex lattices, can be generated in photorefractive crystals.
Anisotropic nonlocal nonlinearity does not prevent the formation of these complex optical patterns.
The orientation of the lattice is a critical factor in controlling the behavior of these nonlinear waves.
