Experimental test of a two-dimensional approximation for dielectric microcavities

A High Order Approximation of the Two Dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients

This paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. The method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions. The construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump conditio...

Approximation solution of two-dimensional linear stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equation via two-dimensional Block-pulse ‎functions

In this paper, a numerical efficient method based on two-dimensional block-pulse functions (BPFs) is proposed to approximate a solution of the two-dimensional linear stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equation. Finally the accuracy of this method will be shown by an example.

Experimental test of two-dimensional melting through disclination unbinding.

A two-dimensional (2D) melting transition has been studied in a nonequilibrium experimental model system. The system used was a complex or dusty plasma consisting of microspheres suspended in a glow-discharge plasma, where we have mapped the topological defects during the transition. The role of the defects in the melting transition is evaluated and the arrangement of the defects in the lattice...

Chains of coupled square dielectric optical microcavities

Chains of coupled square dielectric cavities are investigated in a 2-D setting, by means of a quasi-analytical eigenmode expansion method. Resonant transfer of optical power can be achieved along quite arbitrary, moderately long rectangular paths (up to 9 coupled cavities are considered), even with individual standing-wave resonators of limited quality. We introduce an ab-initio coupled mode mo...
