Also, we demonstrate that the intensity correlation factor is non-evolving with the propagation distance in the far-field regime when a lens is placed at the focal distance after the diffuser.

The geometric characteristic of texture structure is also characterized through displacement mapping. Finally, the sequence images of the space target are obtained by simulation based on the designed simulation process and given imaging conditions. The CPU multi-core parallel acceleration based on the Embree engine is taken to compensate for the speed reduction caused by the increase in the number of model faces.

Despite the model's computational complexity, MS Excel has been employed as a fast and accessible tool for calculating the model. According to the results, ‘Palik' and ‘Babar' exhibit the most accurate datasets representing the real part of the dielectric function of gold in the short- (<500 nm) and long-wavelength (>500 nm) ranges, respectively.

The SSG efficiency can be increased up to three times with the application of mechanical pumps compared to the case without external mechanical pumps.

The slab is composed of two layers: the first layer is a right-handed chiral structure, and the second one is a helix with left-handedness; however, the pitch of the chiral structure remains constant. We performed a theoretical model to find numerically, reflection and transmission spectra for circularly polarized light impinging on the slab. We considered the effects of mechanical strains along the helical axis since the force exerted on the structure can tilt the mesogens in the slab along the helical axis. The Photonic Band-Gap(PBG) of the elastomer slab becomes narrowed because of the strain; there we also observe high reflectance (hyper-reflectivity) that depends on the filling factor of the silver doping and on whether the defect is located at a position that contains complete periods of the structure. Additionally, the spectra display reflection bands for both right- and left-polarized light. We expressed the PBG edges in terms of material parameters; this allows us to select the region of the electromagnetic spectrum for the reflection bands. This medium exhibits a hyper-reflective photonic band when the pitches of both right- and left-handed helical layers are identical.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47146142","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}

The focus is to analyse the photon pairs simultaneously radiated by the system in the far-field domain. The analysis has been done for various interatomic separations. It is seen that the interference between the photon emitters can lead to strong emission in certain directions.

Here, the atoms undergo two-photon transitions mediated through an intermediate virtual state where each atom is separately coupled to a dissipative reservoir at zero temperature in the presence of the Stark shift effect. We have investigated the dynamics of this atomic system for two different initial conditions of the environment. In the first case, we have assumed the environment's state to be in ground state and in the other case, we have assumed the state to be in the first excited state. The second initial condition is significant as it shows the role played by both the Stark shift parameters in contrast to only one of the Stark shift parameters for the first initial condition. Our results demonstrate that quantum correlations can be sustained for an extended period in the presence of Stark shift effect in the case of both Markovian and non-Markovian reservoirs. The effect in the non-Markovian reservoir is more prominent than the Markovian reservoir, even for a very small value of the Stark shift parameter. We observe that among the correlation measures considered, only local quantum uncertainty is accompanied by a sudden change phenomenon, i.e. an abrupt change in the decay rate of a correlation measure. Our findings are significant as preserving quantum correlations is one of the essential aspects in attaining optimum performance in quantum information tasks.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42337406","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}
