Theory of Frozen Waves

چکیده
– In this work, starting by suitable superpositions of equal-frequency Bessel beams, we develop a theoretical and experimental methodology to obtain localized stationary wave fields, with high transverse localization, whose longitudinal intensity pattern can approximately assume any desired shape within a chosen interval 0 ≤ z ≤ L of the propagation axis z. Their intensity envelope remains static, i.e. with velocity v = 0; so that we have named " Frozen Waves " (FW) these new solutions to the wave equations (and, in particular, to the Maxwell equations). Inside the envelope of a FW only the carrier wave does propagate: And the longitudinal shape, within the interval 0 ≤ z ≤ L, can be chosen in such a way that no nonnegligible field exists outside the predetermined region (consisting, e.g., in one or more high intensity peaks). Our solutions are noticeable also for the different and interesting applications they can have, especially in electromag-netism and acoustics, such as optical tweezers, atom guides, optical or acoustic bistouries, 1 various important medical apparata, etc.

0 Laser Excitation of Polarization Waves in a Frozen Gas
Laser experiments with optically excited frozen gases entail the excitation of polarization waves. In a continuum approximation the waves are dispersionless, but their frequency depends on the direction of the propagation vector. An outline is given of the theory of transient phenomena that involve the excitation of these waves by a resonant dipole-dipole transfer process.
متن کاملThe Frozen Flow and the Equilibrium Limits in aPolyatomic
A travelling waves analysis for a polyatomic gas with n internal energy storage modes is performed. In both the frozen ow and the equilibrium limit the existence and the qualitative behaviour of travelling waves are investigated. Methods from geometric singular perturbation theory are used to study these limits.

Although many phenomena in condensed matter Physics can be understood on the basis of a model, there are also considerable number of physical properties of solid which can not be explained except in the framework of lattice dynamics. We have calculated the phonon frequencies of Na Cl, using an approach which is a combination of frozen phonon and force constants methods in the framework of d...
متن کاملFrozen water waves over rough topographical bottoms.
The propagation of surface water waves over rough topographical bottoms is investigated by the multiple scattering theory. It is shown that the waves can be localized spatially through the process of multiple scattering and wave interference, a peculiar wave phenomenon which has been previously discussed for frozen light in optical systems [Nature 390, 661 (1997)]]. This paper demonstrates that...
