Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

969
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:

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations01:10

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

3.2K
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...

Sound Waves: Resonance01:14

Sound Waves: Resonance

2.6K
Resonance is produced depending on the boundary conditions imposed on a wave. Resonance can be produced in a string under tension with symmetrical boundary conditions (i.e., has a node at each end). A node is defined as a fixed point where the string does not move. The symmetrical boundary conditions result in some frequencies resonating and producing standing waves, while other frequencies interfere destructively. Sound waves can resonate in a hollow tube, and the frequencies of the sound...

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear optics
  • Nanophotonics
  • Solid-state physics

Background:

  • Higher-order optical harmonics are observed in nanostructured solids like gratings and metasurfaces.
  • Subwavelength structuring enhances nonlinear processes and reduces source size.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate high-harmonic generation in a single subwavelength resonator.
  • To miniaturize solid-state sources of high harmonics.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a subwavelength AlGaAs resonator (~0.1 λ³).
  • Excitation of resonant modes using an azimuthally polarized, tightly focused beam at 3.7 μm.
  • Analysis of perturbative and nonperturbative nonlinearities.

Main Results:

  • Observed generation of up to the seventh harmonic.
  • Resonator design supports a quasi-bound state in the continuum mode.
  • Efficient harmonic generation achieved in a compact volume.

Conclusions:

  • Subwavelength resonators can efficiently generate higher-order optical harmonics.
  • Miniaturized solid-state high-harmonic sources are feasible.
  • Quasi-bound states in the continuum are key for enhanced nonlinearities.
