Controlling The Transmitted Field Into A Cylindrical Cloak's Hidden Region, Jeffrey S. Mcguirk, Peter J. Collins Oct 2008

Controlling The Transmitted Field Into A Cylindrical Cloak's Hidden Region, Jeffrey S. Mcguirk, Peter J. Collins

Faculty Publications

Constitutive parameters for simplified cylindrical cloaks have been developed such that εzµθ and εzµr match those of the ideal cylindrical cloak. Although they are not perfect, simplified cylindrical cloaks have been shown to inherit many of the power-bending properties of the ideal cloak. However, energy is transmitted into simplified cloaks' hidden regions. Here, we develop a constraint equation that can be used to determine how closely field behavior within the simplified cylindrical cloak matches that of the ideal cloak. The deviation from this controlling equation can be reduced by controlling the cloak's parameter value, …


Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Continuous Wave Phase Conjugation In Step-Index Fiber Optics, Steven M. Massey, Justin B. Spring, Timothy H. Russell Jul 2008

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Continuous Wave Phase Conjugation In Step-Index Fiber Optics, Steven M. Massey, Justin B. Spring, Timothy H. Russell

Faculty Publications

Continuous wave (CW) stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phase conjugation in step-index optical fibers was studied experimentally and modeled as a function of fiber length. A phase conjugate fidelity over 80% was measured from SBS in a 40 m fiber using a pinhole technique. Fidelity decreases with fiber length, and a fiber with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.06 was found to generate good phase conjugation fidelity over longer lengths than a fiber with 0.13 NA. Modeling and experiment support previous work showing the maximum interaction length which yields a high fidelity phase conjugate beam is inversely proportional to the fiber …

The exclusive electroproduction process e ⃗ p → e'nπ+ was measured in the range of the photon virtuality Q2 =1.7-4.5 GeV2, and the invariant mass range for the n π+ system of W=1.15-1.7 GeV using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. For the first time, these kinematics are probed in exclusive π+ production from protons with nearly full coverage in the azimuthal and polar angles of the nπ+ center-of-mass system. The nπ+ channel has particular sensitivity to the isospin 1/2 excited nucleon states, and together with the pπ0 final state will serve …
