Manipulation of quadratic cascading processes in a locally quasi-periodic χ(²) medium
Abstract:
We theoretically and numerically investigate the quadratic cascading effect of third-harmonic (TH) generation in a locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic structure. We study the effect of structure parameters on the acceptance bandwidth and conversion efficiency of the cascading process. We demonstrate that the conversion efficiency of the cascading process can be enhanced by using a longer locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic crystal, without adversely affecting the acceptance bandwidth of the emitted radiation.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
