The significance of data pertaining to the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics stems from these equations’ capacity to depict intricate physical phenomena beyond the scope of traditional models. By leveraging the above-mentioned computational approach, we manifested the novel soliton solutions in the form of dark, bright-dark, dark-bright, periodic, singular, rational, and exponential forms, which are not reported in previously. Compared with other recent analytical approaches, the modified Sardar sub-equation scheme employed here is more versatile, yielding a richer spectrum of soliton structures with reduced computational complexity. This comparative advantage underscores the novelty of the present work and highlights its effectiveness for nonlinear fractional models. Subsequently, the dynamical characteristics of the model are analyzed from various perspectives, such as bifurcation analysis, chaos behavior, and sensitivity. Bifurcation occurs at critical points in the dynamical system when an external force is applied, revealing the onset of chaotic behavior. This chaotic behavior is illustrated through two-dimensional plots, time series, multistability analysis, and Lyapunov exponents. Additionally, the sensitive analysis of the model is examined using the Runge–Kutta method. We show that our proposed techniques are effective in evaluating the nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation with analytical tools and numerical simulations, providing new insights into their behavior and solutions. With ramifications for numerous areas of physics and applied mathematics, our findings contribute to the development of mathematical tools for studying nonlinear partial differential equations and offer fresh perspectives on the dynamics of nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49267,"journal":{"name":"High Energy Density Physics","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145266065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite recent efforts on simplifying EO dual-comb configurations, such as using fewer modulators, optical filters or acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) that are still difficult to realize on chips have been indispensable to resolving the image frequency issue in EO combs. Here, a simple EO dual-comb spectroscopy scheme is proposed, which uses only one off-the-shelf modulator and no optical filters or AOMs while the bandwidth of the generated combs is fully utilized. In the scheme, two broadband driving signals with different comb spacings are applied to the modulator's arms, and the phase between the dual combs is tuned via a varying bias. The amplitudes at the image frequencies are then distinguished using interferograms under different phase biases. Demonstration of EO dual-comb spectroscopy with over 200 resolved comb teeth is achieved, driven by low-cost and compact RF comb generators. The scheme simplifies the EO setup and boosts power efficiency by leveraging the double-sideband EO comb spectra. It can be an attractive enabling solution of chip-integrated and cost-effective dual-comb devices.","PeriodicalId":204,"journal":{"name":"Laser & Photonics Reviews","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145261554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While Birkhoff’s theorem is well established in four-dimensional general relativity–asserting the uniqueness and staticity of vacuum solutions under reflection symmetry remains subtle due to the absence of propagating gravitational degrees of freedom. In this work, we systematically investigate the space of symmetry under radially symmetric configurations in JT gravity using both conformal and Schwarzschild-like gauges. Through analytical techniques and integral transformations, we explore the conditions under which vacuum solutions remain time-independent, identifying classes of metric-dilaton configurations that either uphold or violate Birkhoff-type behavior. Our findings reveal that the theorem holds only in restricted cases, depending critically on the separability of the conformal factor and the structure of the dilaton potential. These results clarify longstanding ambiguities surrounding symmetry and dynamics in two-dimensional gravity and establish JT gravity as a controlled setting for probing the breakdown of classical gravitational theorems in lower-dimensional and holographic contexts. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between symmetry, integrability, and geometry in quantum gravity and strongly coupled systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":597,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Theoretical Physics","volume":"64 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By leveraging lattice vibrations (phonons) to bridge the energy gap, a 330-fold increase in UV emission intensity is achieved at 200 °C compared to room temperature in the model system LuBO<sub>3</sub>:Ce<sup>3+</sup> under 405 nm excitation. This thermally activated nature of this phenomenon is extended to additional phosphors, demonstrating its potential for UV imaging and anti-counterfeiting applications. Importantly, distinctive patterns emerge only under specific thermal conditions, adding an extra layer of security.

Here, it is demonstrated that by introducing a nonlinear thin film in the focal plane, second‐harmonic generation (SHG) can effectively convert these near‐field SOC features into far‐field detectable signals. Due to the crucial role of longitudinal electric fields in the SHG process, circularly polarized pump beams generate second‐harmonic vortices of topological charges <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = ±1 and <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = ±3 in the two spin components, arising from cascaded SOC effects during the tight focusing of the fundamental beam and the collimation of the second‐harmonic field. In contrast, linearly polarized pumping induces spin‐dependent displacements in the second‐harmonic field, attributed to the coupling between transverse and longitudinal electric field components. Additionally, sum‐frequency generation signals are observed in Fourier space, further enriching the nonlinear optical response.
